Good evening ladies and gentleman, I am struggling sending special character like the German üö from the .net client to the jboss server. I have the following reproducible scenario: jboss 4.22 jbossws 2.0.2GA .Net Client .net is pinging the following String to jboss: ""from .NET with ü -- ö"" Jboss is receiving this string and post back an array with following to values "from .NET with ü -- ö" the String .net sended just post it back "Greetings from J with ü -- ö" .net output is: Sending: from .NET with ü -- ö Recived from Jboss Value 1: Greetings from J with ü -- ö Recived from Jboss Value 2: from .NET with ü -- ö the jboss output is: 2008-01-05 21:54:36,921 DEBUG [de.Company.test.WebSevices.ServerAgentEndpointBean] from .Net recived: from .NET with ü -- ö The interesting thing is happening when the protocol sniffer is on: in the Sniffer: .NET is Sending POST /SKMS_Server-SKMS_Server/ServerAgentEndpointBean HTTP/1.1 | User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MS Web Services Client Protocol 2.0.50727.1433) | Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 | SOAPAction: "" | Host: 127.0.0.1:8080 | Content-Length: 359 | Expect: 100-continue | Connection: Keep-Alive | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> | <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"xmlns:xsi... xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> | <soap:Body> | <test xmlns="http://WebSevices.test.company.de/"> | <TestString xmlns="">from .NET with ü -- ö</TestString> | </test> | </soap:Body> | </soap:Envelope> | | in the Sniffer: Jboss Server is sending back! | HTTP/1.1 200 OK | Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 | X-Powered-By: Servlet 2.4; JBoss-4.2.2.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_2_GA date=200710221139)/Tomcat-5.5 | Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8 | Transfer-Encoding: chunked | Date: Sat, 05 Jan 2008 20:54:36 GMT | | <env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'> | <env:Header></env:Header><env:Body> | <ns2:testResponse xmlns:ns2="http://WebSevices.test.company.de/"> | <return>Greetings from J with Ã?¼ -- Ã?¶</return><return>from .NET with Ã?¼ -- | Ã?¶ | </return></ns2:testResponse></env:Body></env:Envelope> | The .NET Client Code | test test_remote = new WebReference.test(); | String tesString = "from .NET with ü -- ö"; | test_remote.TestString = tesString; | | string[] result = new WebReference.ServerAgentEndpoint().test(test_remote); | | Console.WriteLine("Sending: " + tesString); | Console.WriteLine("Recived from Jboss Value 1: " + result[0]); | Console.WriteLine("Recived from Jboss Value 2: " + result[1]); | The Java Code is: | @WebMethod | public String[] test (@WebParam(name="TestString") String str){ | String[] result = new String[]{"Greetings from J with ü -- ö",str}; | log.debug("from .Net recived: " + str); | log.debug("This will be the result by Jboss to .Net" + result.toString()); | return result; | } | | | As I see it from the sniffer the .Net client is sendig the data right to jboss encoding the content with utf-8 and jboss is decoding it right. When jboss is sending data to .net the data are encoded twice with utf-8 you can see it in the sniffer. .net is sending: from .NET with ü -- ö" <<-- sniffer: encoded once with utf-8 The line "from J with Ã?¼ -- Ã?¶" <<-- sniffer: utf-8 over utf-8 .net did it right and encoded it to "from J with ü -- ö" <<-- decoded the string but still one utf-8 encoding is left. so i guess something is wrong with the utf-8 encoding in jboss or jbossws? can anybody verify my problem? greetings V.
