Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Mirko Tasler <>]

Dear Grouper-Users,

here at Freie Universität Berlin, we are creating Stems with umlauts 
using GrouperClient like in *1 with "test:umlautä".
This works fine, and a quick "SELECT display_name FROM grouper_stems 
WHERE display_name LIKE 'test:%umlau%'" also equals to the originating 
stemName.
However, when I try to look up this Stem with GrouperClient with *2,
the found Stem name in the WsStem[] Array (fetched with 
found[0].getName()) has no umlauts but instead a char with the value 
"0xefbfbd"/65533 (i.e., invalid Unicode).
The response from the Web Service at *3 seems correct.
How do I fetch the correct name? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mirko Tasler


*1 Code snippet saving Stem
    String stemName="test:umlautä";
    WsStem wsStem = new WsStem();
    wsStem.setName(stemName);
    WsStemToSave wsStemToSave = new WsStemToSave();
    wsStemToSave.setWsStemLookup(new WsStemLookup(stemName, null));
    wsStemToSave.setWsStem(wsStem);
    gcStemSave.addStemToSave(wsStemToSave);
    gcStemSave.assignTxType(GcTransactionType.NONE).execute();

*2 Code snippet looking up Stem
    String parentName="test";
    WsStemQueryFilter wsStemQueryFilter = new WsStemQueryFilter();
    wsStemQueryFilter.setParentStemName(parentName);
   wsStemQueryFilter.setStemQueryFilterType("FIND_BY_PARENT_STEM_NAME");
    wsStemQueryFilter.setParentStemNameScope("ALL_IN_SUBTREE");
    GcFindStems gcFindStems = new GcFindStems();
    WsFindStemsResults result = 
gcFindStems.assignStemQueryFilter(wsStemQueryFilter).execute();
    WsStem[] found=result.getStemResults();
    int c=found[0].getName().charAt(found[0].getName().size()-1);
    (leads to c==65533, should be 228)
