Work with locales and character encodings

 

Internationalization support for WAS relies on that provided by the Java™ 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE). Support varies by platform.

 

Procedure

 

Results

If your application produces an UnsupportedEncodingException exception, check your operating system documentation to determine if the target operating system supports the required encoding and adjust the runtime environment as needed.

 

Example

[Windows]

For example, on the Windows® platform, the command prompt runs in a Windows code page. Not all Windows code pages are supported by the Java platform, so it is possible to get a Java exception when running a command-line program, such as wsadmin, in an unsupported code page. To avoid exceptions, use the chcp command to explicitly set the code page to an encoding that is supported by the Java platform.
