How To: Return Results from a Java Search Template in a Non-English Environment

Summary

The following article describes how to allow a Java Search Template to return search results correctly in non-English environments by editing three files: ResTemplates.properties, search.jsp and web.xml.

Procedure

ArcGIS Server 9.1

Edit the charset in search.jsp at /ArcGIS/developerkit/Templates/Java/Search with proper charset. The default is "ISO-8859-1", which is an English charset.

For the lists of charset, see the link for Supported Encodings URL in the Related Information section below. The Japanese example is shown below. The Japanese charset is "Shift_JIS".

Original:

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" %>

Modified:

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS" %>

Edit the filter in web.xml at /ArcGIS/developerkit/Templates/Java/WEB-INF.

Original:

<filter>
  <filter-name>SessionTimeout</filter-name>
  <filter-class>com.esri.arcgis.webcontrols.util.ADFSessionTimeoutFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>redirectPage</param-name>
    <param-value>/timeout.html</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>

Modified:

<filter>
  <filter-name>SessionTimeout</filter-name>
  <filter-class>com.esri.arcgis.webcontrols.util.ADFSessionTimeoutFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>characterEncoding</param-name>
    <param-value>Shift_JIS</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>redirectPage</param-name>
    <param-value>/timeout.html</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>

ArcGIS Server 9.0 and 9.0.1

Change the Label value of "Go" and "Map" to another string value in ResTemplates.properties at /ArcGIS/developerkit/Templates/Java/WEB-INF/classes/res.

For example: Search.Go=Search

Search.MapButton=ViewMap

Edit the charset in search.jsp at /ArcGIS/developerkit/Templates/Java/Search with proper charset. The default is "ISO-8859-1", which is the English charset.

For the lists of charset, see the link for Supported Encodings URL in the Related Information section below. The Japanese example is shown below. The Japanese charset is "Shift_JIS".

Original:

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" %>

Modified:

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS" %>

Edit the filter in web.xml at /ArcGIS/developerkit/Templates/Java/WEB-INF.

Original:

<filter>
  <filter-name>SessionTimeout</filter-name>
  <filter-class>com.esri.arcgis.webcontrols.util.ADFSessionTimeoutFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>redirectPage</param-name>
    <param-value>/timeout.html</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>

Modified:

<filter>
  <filter-name>SessionTimeout</filter-name>
  <filter-class>com.esri.arcgis.webcontrols.util.ADFSessionTimeoutFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>characterEncoding</param-name>
    <param-value>Shift_JIS</param-value>
  </init-param>
