Java convert Windows-1252 to UTF-8, some letters a

问题:

I receive data from external Microsoft SQL 2008 Data base (I make Queries with MyBatis). In theroy I receive data encoding on "Windows-1252".

I try decoded data with this code:

String textoFormado = ...value from MyBatis... ;

String s = new String(textoFormado.getBytes("Windows-1252"), "UTF-8");

Almost all the String is correctly decoded. But some letter with acents not.

For Example:

1. I Receive from Data base this String: "�vila"
2. I use the above code and this make this String: "�?vila"
3. I expected this String: "Ávila"

Obviously, textoFormado is a variable of type String. This means that the bytes were already decoded. Java then internally uses a 16-bit Unicode representation. What you did, is to encode your string with Windows-1252 followed by reading the resulting bytes with an UTF-8 encoding. That does not work.

What you need is the correct encoding when reading the bytes:

byte[] sourceBytes = getRawBytes();
String data = new String(sourceBytes , "Windows-1252");

For using this string inside your program, you do not need to do anything. Simply use it. If - however - you want to write the data back to a file for example, you need to encode again:

byte[] destinationBytes = data.getBytes("UTF-8");
// write bytes to destination file here

I solved it thanks to all.

I have the next project structure:

• MyBatisQueries: I have a query with a "select" which gives me the String
• Pojo to save the String (which gave me the String with conversion problems)
• The class which uses the query and the Pojo object with data (that showed me bad decoded)

at first I had (MyBatis and Spring inject dependencies and params):

public class Pojo {
    private String params;
    public void setParams(String params) {
        try {
            this.params = params;
        }
    }

}

The solution:

public class Pojo {
    private String params;
    public void setParams(byte[] params) {
        try {
            this.params = new String(params, "UTF-8");
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            this.params = null;
        }
    }
