I find the file URLDecoder.java in ext\common\blackberry\common\util has error like below:

decodingMap.put( "%80", "€" );
decodingMap.put( "%81", " " );
decodingMap.put( "%82", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%83", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%84", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%85", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%86", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%87", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%88", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%89", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%8A", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%8B", "? );
decodingMap.put( "%8C", "? );

then i tried to fix it and save the file as UTF-8, but i also got failed in compiling...

I do not know why, and I do not know how, or the sdk is not suitable for Unicode System?

My system is Windows 7 x64

I'm having a lot of trouble with the new SDK as well...compiling with ripple on a windows 7 x64

Just to add to the above comments. I am working with the 2.3.0.9 blackberry phone sdk and I am also seeing this problem. The operating system is Windows7 (simplified chinese).

The probem is a compilation error in the generated code at

..AppData\Local\Temp\widgetGen.#.tmp\extension\blackberry\common\util\URLDecoder.java

The compilation errors start at line 139 with:

        decodingMap.put( "%80", "€" );
        decodingMap.put( "%81", " " );
        decodingMap.put( "%82", "? );
        decodingMap.put( "%83", "? );

and it appears to be an encoding issue.

For those of you who run into this issue. You can go to

C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry WebWorks SDK 2.3.0.9\ext\common\blackberry\common\util

and modify the source file there -- either add the proper characters as listed here

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp

Or if you are in a rush, comment out the lines that throw compile errors.

For the last developer who modified this file, I'm not sure what the intended encoding of this file is. I thought it might be utf-8, but its not so who knows. But it's important that you kow what the encoding is supposed to be and that in your packaging code that you specifically tell that to the java compilier. Otherwise its just one of those "It works on my machine" type of deals, but in reality the SDK is broken.

Which Sun/Oracle JDK are you using... Is it JDK version 1.6 32-bit?

If not, this is one of the requirements for the SDK.

Hi,

As a possible workaround, please try to use native2ascii command as below.

------

C:\BBWP\ext\common\blackberry\common\util>native2ascii -encoding ISO-8859-1 URLDecoder.java URLDecoder.java_Unicode

C:\BBWP\ext\common\blackberry\common\util>rename URLDecoder.java URLDecoder.java_bak

C:\BBWP\ext\common\blackberry\common\util>rename URLDecoder.java_Unicode URLDecoder.java

------

Please see also my blog.

This is a possible solution which helps to solve my similar issue. My system is Windows XP (Simple Chinese) with JDK 1.6_32 and WebWork SDK 2.3.1.5.
