Hi,
Can you tell if it is possible to set the encoding type of all the request parameters in a filter.

The problem is that, i have created a j2ee project which deals with japanese characters.So,i need to use this
new String(value.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8"); in my code whereever i am retrieving data from request objects
in order to display,update japanese values.Its a pain changing the code every here and there.

Can you comment on the possiblity of solving the issue with the help of filter?
A little hints on the approach will be enough.

may i know which rich text editor is used in javaranch?

Hi all,
I am new to j2ee, and i have to make a page where the text area for a field has a certain aspect. If we select some portion of the sentences that will be written in it,and click on the bold option(much like the one i am using here),that portion will be in bold letters and will be saved accordingly in database.

Can you help me in understanding it ?

Hi , i am writting a java program which will call a Stored procedure.

The Stored Procedure will -1.populate a staging table
2. return 2 output variables(both are integers)

Any help on how to store these 2 variables in the java program?Because i am seeing that the prepareCall() method is returning a resultset ,which i clearly don't need.
