Japanese Language In Fusionchart

[Gowrishankar]

Hi,

Follwoing is the code I used for showing Japanese Chnaracters in Fusionchart. (My XML contains Japanese characters)

 

 

OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
outs.write( new byte[]{(byte)0xEF, (byte)0xBB, (byte)0xBF} );
out.write(xmlDoc.getBytes());
out.flush();
out.close();

 

 

Also Tried follwoign one

PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(response.getOutputStream(), true, "UTF-8"); 
ps.print(new byte[]{(byte)0xEF, (byte)0xBB, (byte)0xBF});
ps.println(xmlDoc);
ps.close();

 

 

for these 2 code the result is coming as the "pict1.jsp" chart.

 

Now I tried in stanalone HTML file using ASCII code for the japanese characters (amp;#24215;amp;#33303; is correspondind ASCII code for my Japanese character).

This gives me the "pict2.jsp" chart

 

In both the cases the actual japanese character is not showing.

 

please advice me further for fixing this issue.

Hi,

 

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum!

 

To use multi-lingual characters on the chart, you necessarily need to use UTF-8 encoded XML. More importantly, the XML file/stream does require a BOM stamp to be present as the very first 3 Bytes of the file. Hence, one must remember the two basic thumb rules :

 

for dataURL method - the XML file/stream should be having the BOM stamp and

 

for dataXML method - the HTML/application file containing the XML as well as the chart SWF should have the BOM stamp.

 

What is BOM - Byte Order Mark. It is 'EF BB EF' - these 3 bytes in case of UTF-8 encoded files, the BOM being placed at the very beginning of the file. It is an indicator that the file is containing UTF-8 encoded strings.

 

For more details and sample example, please visit the links below:

Hope this helps.

Please refer to the link: http://docs.fusioncharts.com/charts/?Code/J2EE/JSP_UTF8Example.html

 

The above link has an example of using Japanese character with JSP.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

After some try we got it working. below code works fine.

 

response.setContentType("text/xml; characterset=utf-8");
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
OutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
outs.write( new byte[]{(byte)0xEF, (byte)0xBB, (byte)0xBF} );


outs.write(xmlDoc.getBytes("UTF-8"));


outs.flush();

 

Apart from putting

outs.write( new byte[]{(byte)0xEF, (byte)0xBB, (byte)0xBF} ); 

as mentioned in fusion code sample (thanks to Angshu for the link), need to mention "UTF-8" for the getBytes() method.

It worked fine after that.
