Hello Dev Community:

Issue:

When trying to access characters from the Central European character set (Microsoft’s code page 1250) question marks are returned.

I’m using Outbound Messages and the API.  The Outbound Message itself contains the correct Hex values.  However, as stated above, when a method call is made on the object, question marks are returned (see code below).

Edition: Unlimited

Encoding: UTF-8

 
Data:

ŠŚŤŽŹšśťžź

 
Outbound Message:

<sf:FirstName>&#x160;&#x15A;&#x164;&#x17D;&#x179;&#x161;&#x15B;&#x165;&#x17E;&#x17A;</sf:FirstName>

 
Code:

public class ClientNotificationBindingImpl implements com.sforce.soap._2005._09.outbound.ClientNotificationPort{

    public boolean notifications(java.lang.String organizationId, java.lang.String actionId, java.lang.String sessionId, java.lang.String enterpriseUrl, java.lang.String partnerUrl, com.sforce.soap._2005._09.outbound.ContactNotification[] clientNotification) throws java.rmi.RemoteException {

      // Loop through the ContactNotification array, retrieve the objects, and process them.

      for (int i = 0; i < clientNotification.length; i++) {

            // Retrieve the object type from the object.

            String objectType = clientNotification[i].getSObject().getClass().getSimpleName();

            SalesforceLIMSIntegrationLogger.getInstance().logger.debug("###### 1. getLastName: " + clientNotification[i].getSObject().getLastName());

            SalesforceLIMSIntegrationLogger.getInstance().logger.debug("###### 1. getMiddle_Initial__c: " + clientNotification[i].getSObject().getMiddle_Initial__c());

      }

    }

}
