Description:
What are the codesets that Visibroker supports? Is there way to
send characters outside the Latin-1 character set using the
char/string idl type in Visibroker?
Answer/Solution:
The native codeset for Visibroker string/char is ISO_8859_1 and conversion codeset for string/char is UTF-8. There is no way to send characters outside of Latin-1 character set using the char/string idl type in Visibroker. In a Visibroker/Visibroker environment, the ORB cannot be forced to use UTF-8. UTF-8 is present only as a conversion codeset. UTF-8 will be used only in cases where a codeset negotiation leads to using UTF-8 as transmission codeset , typically with foreign ORBs whose native codeset is UTF-8.
The native codeset for wchar/wstring is UTF-16 and there is no conversion codeset for wchar/wstring that we support.
