Hey, could you check the encoding of your localize files.

What encoding does it have? UTF-8 (with or w/o BOM)
I don't see any code changes, but maybe I my sources are not up to date.

Did you changed something in the localize files?
Are the screens taken with the same localize files?

I will try to check again, but no guarantee I can help.

Hi fararjeh,

When you talk about versions (old and new), are you talking about Workdesk versions? If yes, which are the versions you used?

If you are talking about Alfresco versions, which are the ones you used?

On your screenshot I can see that the exception is coming from the CMIS side, so my next question is, are all exceptions encoded in wrong format or can you only confirm for this exception?

Is your file encoding really UTF-8 or is it UTF-8 with BOM? You should try it with BOM.

Hi deko

Of course I'm talking about workdesk version and I'm currently using workdesk version 4.1.1.1 and old version is 4.1.0.0.

About exception yes It comes from cmis exactly from alfresco policy when create new content


if(employeeVacationDurationAfter>90){
       throw new AlfrescoRuntimeException("لا يمكن اخذ اجازة أكثر من 90 يوم متتاليه ");
}else{ 
      ……..
} 
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

My java class encoding is UTF-8 and I think by default is with BOM , If not default encode with BOM So how can I determine it ?

Hi farajeh,

D.Evil and me were not talking about java class encoding but about the file encoding of the localize.properties file, which includes the values for all localize keys.

You are throwing this exception in Alfresco itself and there is no localized value in Workdesk at all, right? So the exception might be passed as is from Alfresco resp. the CMIS component. Workdesk is displaying the exception as passed through.

Did your Alfresco versions also change in between? I don´t know of any code change on the encoding side of Workdesk at the moment. Only difference on the Workdesk side I could think of here is again the different usage of two different CMIS adapter implementations => Old version using Sun Metro and new version using Apache Chemistry OpenCMIS.

Hi deko,

About changing alfesco version, I didn't change it , only change workdesk version and I guess when workdesk change from Sun Metro to Apache Chemistry OpenCMIS, It didn't encode exception to UTF-8 in OpenCMIS .

This issue is very important because I do some buisness validation in alfresco policy before add content and when any error occured must user know that error .can you resolve this issue ?

HI farajeh,

I can´t fix it at the moment as I don´t see this behavior when throwing any exception. Mine are encoded correctly. Maybe you need to change the way you throw that exception and localize it so that it is encoded correctly. Can you show me how to reproduce this in the standard product by generating any exception? Is it only occuring for your exception or also for other CMIS exceptions?

Best regards,
Dennis

Hi deko,

Firstly, I can't use localization Technic because all validation exceptions of the type is alfresco run time exception so in workdesk it define as one type[com.wewebu.ow.server.ecmimpl.opencmis.OwCMISNetwork.err.createNewObject.runtime] )

[img=730x650]https://forums.alfresco.com/sites/forums/files/encoding.png[/img]

I want to acknowledge a point when you view the details of the exception,It appears correctly as shown in the picture below:
[img=730x650]https://forums.alfresco.com/sites/forums/files/21.png[/img]

Any exception that created from alfresco policy, It appears correctly but If the exception contain arabic language character does not appear correctly.

Hi fararjeh,

Unfortunately I am busy doing other things at the moment and did not investigate this further. I can only tell that this issue does not occur for all the default delivered Workdesk languages.

To investigate this issue I´d need to throw an Arabic exception somehow in ALfresco and display that one in Workdesk and I don´t have time to setup this enviroment at the moment.

I am destined for your efforts to help me solve problems, but most of the problems to be solved is concerned with the customer to be able to deal with the application, so this issue is the most important problems , because the message that appears to him that guide him for the wrong type If he do not understand the error so he did not do anything with the application .
Anyway, I want to acknowledge the point. Area displaying the error in the Workdesk ( OwMainLayout_ERROR ) is divided into two parts the first is responsible for the exception message only and the second for the full stack of the exception.
From the second part : the exception displays properly with support Arabic characters >> conclusion: Alfresco is not responsible for the problem, because it comes properly , But in the first part does not support Arabic characters properly. Hence, I expect the problem in a manner specific to display the error in the first part of the error layout in Workdesk .
Note: Currently, I am using workdesk version 4.1.1.1 , In workdesk version 4.1.0.0 is working properly( support Arabic characters)

Hi fararjeh,

If you are talking about an Enterpsie customer having those issues I strongly recommend using the official Alfresco Support portal instead of the forums:

http://support.alfresco.com

If there is a related support case, support can track your activities better and assist you and there is a complete team being able to work on your issues.
