Hi
Apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge but I come from a mainframe background of Pascal on a Vax and then “progressed” to Cobol on an Alpha. Yes – us dinosaurs still exist 🙂 (but don’t be afraid – we’re friendly dinosaurs).
Have played with VB.Net very rarely on my own time over the last year and also have done very basic Java i.e. 2 day introductory course 8 years ago and then company never gave me chance to use it thereafter!).
So, am in a new job last week and still doing some Cobol but also Java. They employed me knowing I had no java but I got MyEclipse installed last week and was given some changes to make !
Most are cosmetic – removing some redundant fields for new market and have to change £ sign to Euro.
I said I’d start with the currency signs – can’t really be too hard – you’d think …..
So, edited the JSP’s in question and went to deploy the project – objected to Euro symbol – said that character set iso-8859-1 needed to be changed.
So, I changed anywhere in Windows/Preferences where there was a reference to iso-8859-1 and yet I still get the error.
Any ideas how I can get the correct Character set to let me use the Euro ?
Also, kinda unrelated – what is best beginners book, which will give me an understanding of Hibernate, Spring, Struts, Beans etc
As Denzel Washington said in Philidelphia “Explain it to me like I’m a four year old” ….
TIA
RobCan you right click on your file and go to Properties > Resources > Text File encoding and change it to UTF-8. Does that help?
The best way to display the Euro sign in your HTML is with the spelled character entity € no matter what character set you’re in. By typing € then you won’t have to worry that technically the Euro sign is only in the ISO-8859-15 set which mostly copies ISO-8859-1, and a UTF-8 Euro technically isn’t the same as an ISO Euro.
When I edited the layout in the visual editor and typed in the euro sign, it actually put it in as &euro. But I had two separate jsp files, so maybe didn’t change it in both. I’m at home at the moment but when I get in to work tomorrow, I’ll try that and let you know.
Thanks
Rob
