I get the same result as you do (did it via GSH).

gsh 0% testString = "H13_FRA2007, Questions d’histoire de la litérature"

H13_FRA2007, Questions d’histoire de la litérature

gsh 1% GrouperUtil.truncateAscii(testString, 50)

H13_FRA2007, Questions d’histoire de la litératu

I tried to manually insert “H13_FRA2007, Questions d’histoire de la litératu” and it failed, size=51.

That apostrophe (a quote in English?) has a char value of 8217 that might be the problem. It’s different than the usual ' (which has a value of 39).

I think a better patch would be something like :

If (input.charAt(i) >= 128)

++asciiLength;

If (input.charAt(i) >= ???)

++asciiLength;

But I’m not sure at which value the 3 byte is required. If I remember correctly UTf8 can have 4 bytes character right ? Maybe it would be safer to have asciiLength+=4 ?

The other option would be to change the column type to VARCHAR2(50 CHAR), but it might require too much change, but it would simplify everything that has to work with the DB.

The truncate method take it down to this:

H13_FRA2007, Questions d’histoire de la litératu

Which is 48 long, and I assumed the quote and the é take two buytes, so it should be 50 in the DB. But for some reason it is 51. Maybe one of the special chars is 3 bytes in the DB???

Can you manually put that string in a row in the table (temporarily?) and see if it works?

Also, please run this and see what it prints out:

String testString = "H13_FRA2007, Questions d’histoire de la litérature";

System.out.println(GrouperUtil.truncateAscii(testString, 50));

Maybe this is the patch we need just to be safe:

GrouperUtil.truncateAscii()

FROM:

//keep count of non ascii chars

if (!isAscii(input.charAt(i))) {

asciiLength++;

}

TO:

//keep count of non ascii chars

if (!isAscii(input.charAt(i))) {

asciiLength+=2;

}

Thanks,

Chris

Full stack trace below, I copied everything, but maybe you would only be interested in the last part I marked (my global try..catch).

We are using Oracle database

According to the stack trace : group dExtension: H13_FRA2007, Questions d’histoire de la literature

I checked in my DB and found some truncated strings. I think you are right about accents character taking 2 characters in the DB. I found strings with accents, some of them were truncated they were 50-“number of accents there is” in length

Here are some examples, all of them were truncated :

50: H13_CHM1600, Chimie de l'environnement - introduct

49: A12_113710, Littératures de langues anglaise et f

48: H13_113810, Études anglaises et Littérature comp

I think I found the problem :

H13_FRA2007, Questions d’histoire de la litérature

Is exactly 50 characters according to String.length()

But the accents makes it 51 characters long in the DB.

So there might an error in truncateAscii when input is exactly 50 characters long
