Character code set conversion support for the Java ORB service
The CORBA/IIOP specification defines a framework for negotiation and conversion of character code sets used by the Java ORB service.
This product supports the framework and provides the following system properties for modifying the default settings:
com.ibm.CORBA.ORBCharEncoding
Name of the native code set that the ORB uses for character data (referred to as NCS-C in the CORBA/IIOP specification). By default, the ORB uses UTF8. Valid code set values for this property are shown in the table that follows this list; values that are valid only for ORBWCharDefault are indicated.
com.ibm.CORBA.ORBWCharDefault
Default code set that the ORB uses for transmission of wide character data when no code set for wide character data is found in the tagged component in the Interoperable Object Reference (IOR) or in the GIOP service context. If no code set for wide character data is found and this property is not set, the ORB raises an exception, as specified in the CORBA specification. No default value is set for this property. The only valid code set values for this property are UCS2 or UTF16. The CORBA code set negotiation and conversion framework specifies the use of code set registry IDs as defined in the Open Software Foundation (OSF) code set registry. The ORB translates the Java file.encoding names shown in the following table to the corresponding OSF registry IDs. These IDs are then used by the ORB in the IOR Code set tagged component and GIOP code set service context as specified in the CORBA and IIOP specification.
OSF code set registry IDs for Java file.encoding names. The following table lists the OSF code set registry IDs for the Java file.encoding names.
