Arabic Problem

[mohd Shalaby]

Hi all--
I have a Servlet that write arabic characters.
And I want to fill a JTable (myTable) by these arabic chars.

I reade the servlet as follow:

URL url = new URL(ServletURL);
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
//con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/plain; charset = WINDOWS-1256" ); 
InputStream in = con.getInputStream(); 
InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(in,"WINDOWS-1256");

and i use an array of String to to fill the table, the following code for assign vlues to the array

for(int i = 0 ; i < rowsCount ; i++)
 {
   for(int j=0 ; j < columnsCount ; j++) 
    { 
     values[j] = getToken(reader);
    } 
 }
 
//////////////////////////// get Token Function 
 
 String getToken(InputStreamReader in) throws IOException 
  { 
   tempToken.reset(); 
   int currentChar; 
   for(currentChar = in.read(); 
   currentChar != -1 && currentChar != 36 && currentChar != 13 && currentChar != 0; currentChar = in.read()) 
   tempToken.write(currentChar); 
 
if(tempToken.size() == 0 && currentChar != -1)
  return getToken(in); 
else 
 { 
   String s = tempToken.toString();
   return s; 
 } 
}

and i use the array to fill myTable.

But the table (myTable) cant show arabic chars unless the client set his local settings (Regional Settings in Windows) to Arabic.
I need the table be able to show Arabic in any regional settings.

Is that possible - if it is possible I need to know how PLEASE.

thank you.

First, let me welcome you to the JavaRanch.
Second, please change your displayed name to conform to our
naming policy. In short, your name must be a first name and last name, separated by a space and not obviously fake.
Third, this problem isn't with I/O, but with your client. I'm going to move it to the Swing forum and see if anyone has any bright ideas.
