utf-8 encoding

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hi,

I don't know if my posting is at the right place, actually i am new to sourceforge and the hole thing, so please correct me.

back to my topic:
I just found out, when i use your survey i get utf8 failures like

java.io.UTFDataFormatException: invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence (0x62)

when i open the result.xml

this is because you used the java.io.filewiter which hasn't utf8 encoding

so i edited your saveXMLAnswers

+
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(outputXMLFile),"UTF-8");

-
writer = new FileWriter(new File(outputXMLFile));

maybe you will aply my changes

here is the reference i used to fix the problem:

greetings Konrad

ps: please ignore my bad spelling

ah, thanks for the catch.  I changed this in two places:
XMLResultWriter(File)
and
Survey#saveXMLAnswers(String)

This is checked into the SVN.  My next task is to add a menu bar to JSurveyLib that allows you to save/load surveys at any time.  After that, I'll probably make a release that will include this fix.

Thanks again,
Dan

oh and BTW, I think you *could* have worked around this bug by using Survey#saveXMLAnswers(Writer).  Am I wrong about that?  I think you could have passed in new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(outputXMLFile),"UTF-8") to that method.

yes of cause, but that woundln't solve the bug with the FileWriter.

FYI, i modified all FileReaders in similar ways
