Character encoding issues

[billc]

Hi

This is a follow on from the resolved issues #635 and #662. There's another character encoding incompatibility between Studio and Maestro that hasn't been fixed yet.

When using the KingOra FDO connector Studio adds a tilda (~) as a separator in the FeatureName, and Maestro adds the character string -x7e-

Can Maestro be fixed so that -x7e- becomes a ~ character?

Thanks.

I don't have a working Oracle data source to test on. Can you submit the Xml for a layer that works in Studio but not in Maestro? If you can attach files like the ones in #662, I should be able to figure out what goes wrong.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

As far as I can tell the offending character encoding is in the <FeatureName> tag:

From Studio:

<FeatureName>KingOra:OSMM_MG~TOPOGRAPHICAREA_HP~GEOM</FeatureName>

From Maestro:

<FeatureName>KingOra:OSMM_MG-x7e-TOPOGRAPHICAREA_HP-x7e-GEOM</FeatureName>

Here's the full Studio layer:

Thank you for that report. I belive it is fixed in r3289 which I have just uploaded: ​http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro/Downloads
