About ExchangeServer2007 and Japanese characters

[karisawa]

After connecting to ExchangeServer2007,
following the procedure indicated in the manual sample,
I was able to acquire the calendar event normally.

However, after creating, all Japanese words appeared garbled.

Incidently, this character garbling does not occur
when updating from "Outlook Web Access" under Internet Explorer 6.

Any advice about the cause or solution of this problem would be welcome.

[sample code]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<cfscript>
sEvent=StructNew();
sEvent.Subject="件名";
sEvent.AllDayEvent="yes";
sEvent.StartTime=createDateTime(2008, 3, 18, 8, 0, 0);
sEvent.Location="会議室";
sEvent.RequiredAttendees="";
sEvent.OptionalAttendees="";
sEvent.Reminder=5;
sEvent.Importance="high";
sEvent.Sensitivity="normal";
sEvent.message="テスト";
</cfscript>

<cfdump var="#sEvent#">

<cfexchangecalendar action="create"
username ="ExchangeUser"
password="ExchangePass"
server="192.168.0.10"
ExchangeServerLanguage = "japanese"
formBasedAuthentication = "no"
protocol = "https"
event="#sEvent#"
result="eventID">
<cfoutput>UID :#eventID#</cfoutput>

Thanks in advance for your help.

define "garbled". a bunch of question marks (???) or mojibake? what encoding is
the ms exchange server using, what encoding is the cf server using (unless you
changed it, cf defaults to utf-8)? what encoding is your cf page using?

Thank you for an immediate answer.

a bunch of question marks(???) is displayed now

>what encoding is the ms exchange server using,
I don't change it from installation time.

sorry,I don't understand its setting method,
Therefore I do not change encoding.
(only JVM encoding is "MS932" ,that I was able to understand me)

>what encoding is your cf page using?
I tried "utf-8" and "S-JIS",but Its result was the same thing.

Thanks in advance for your help.

ok that's bad, that means the data is garbaged by a serious/fatal encoding error.

and that was?

so the cf server's still utf-8.

did you change the encoding or is the cf/exchange server OS japanese?

S-JIS? is that shift_jis?

ok, what you need to do is find out the encoding for the exchange server (or the
exchange app itself) & the find out the encoding for the cf server (i guess the
easiest way is to find the neo-runtime.xml file in cf_install\lib dir & see what
the "defaultCharset" is set to).

Sorry for the delay.

I re-installed ExchangeServer2007 and ColdFusion8,
checked once again the items you suggested,
but that did not resolve the "???" display problem.

> did you change the encoding or is the cf/exchange server OS japanese?

We are using a Japanese OS.
Environment is as follows :

- Exchange Machine
OS:Windows Server 2003 x64 SP2 Japanese
ExchangeServer 2007 SP1
.Net2.0 Japanese LanguagePack SP1
PowerShell 1.0 MUI Japanese

- ExchangeServer Machine
OS:WindowsXP SP2 Japanese
ColdFusion 8 Developer
(Hotfix3 applied, Japanese language)
Web Server : IIS

>(i guess the easiest way is to find the neo-runtime.xml

I verified that it is set to utf-8.
ExchangeUser is set to Japanese language.

Is there any other cause you can think of ?

and what encoding does the exchange on this box use?

> Is there any other cause you can think of ?

there's only one cause, encoding mismatch. if the cf box is utf-8, find out what
encoding the exchange box is using. make them both match.

The exchange box is utf-8.

Inspecting the transmission contents with "Fiddler"
showed that the message coming out of CF8
is already changed to "???".

<defaultCharset> in neo-runtime.xml is set to utf-8

CF8server is a clean environment, with nothing else installed.

OS:WindowsXP SP2 Japanese
ColdFusion 8 Developer
(Hotfix3 applied, Japanese language)
Web Server : IIS
.Net2.0 Japanese LanguagePack SP1
Fiddler2

I can't think of anything else.
If there is any other software or setting required for CF8,
please be so kind and tell me.

doesn't mean it wasn't garbaged coming in. are you doing anything to the data
before inserting into exchange from cf (ie are you sure it's going in ok?) or
after when you pull it out (ie before you display it)?

i guess you better post your code (though the only place i can see anything
about encoding is the cfExchangeConnection & that i think only effects localized
dir, etc. names).

i don't see any outstanding exchange bugs or really anything related. though i'm
still not sure about the japanese OS, just wondering if that's forcing some
encoding of it's own, my newsreader's chopped off most of this thread, have you
tried any of the japanese page encodings?.
