Java convert Windows-1252 to UTF-8, some letters are wrong

Question

I receive data from a external Microsoft SQL 2008 database (I make queries with MyBatis). The data is encoded as "Windows-1252".

I have tried to re-encode t

Answer 1

I solved it thanks to all.

I have the next project structure:

• MyBatisQueries: I have a query with a "select" which gives me the String
• Pojo to save the String (which gave me the String with conversion problems)
• The class which uses the query and the Pojo object with data (that showed me bad decoded)

at first I had (MyBatis and Spring inject dependencies and params):

public class Pojo {
    private String params;
    public void setParams(String params) {
        try {
            this.params = params;
        }
    }

}

The solution:

public class Pojo {
    private String params;
    public void setParams(byte[] params) {
        try {
            this.params = new String(params, "UTF-8");
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            this.params = null;
        }
    }

}
