[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBRULES-2936) Importing decision table from Excel: Non Ascii chars should not be corrupted

[Geoffrey De Smet (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBRULES-2936?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12692962#comment-12692962 ] 

Geoffrey De Smet commented on JBRULES-2936:
-------------------------------------------

"JXL gets this wrong, at least for BIFF8 files (binary Excel 97 files)." Sounds like JXL needs to fix this upstream and we should upgrade to a new JXL version. Of course, a temporary workaround for now in our code is welcome.

> Excel (like windows) probably has crappy encoding standardization (as in none at all), so I suspect that we 'll need to ask the excel document what encoding (or even what locale) it is and read the data in that encoding.
