I have problem with polish letters like '?????????' passing from flex to ColdFusion

<World-Wide Web, database, tool> {Allaire Corporation}'s
	commercial {database} application development tool that allows
	{databases} to have a {World-Wide Web} {interface}, so a
	database can be queried and updated using a {web browser}.

	The ColdFusion Server application runs on the {web server} and
	has access to a {database}.  ColdFusion files on the web
	server are {HTML} pages with additional ColdFusion commands to
	{query} or {update} the database, written in {CFML}.  When the
	page is requested by the user, the {web server} passes the
	page to the Cold Fusion application, which executes the {CFML}
	commands, places the results of the {CFML} commands in the
	{HTML} file, and returns the page to the {web server}.  The
	page returned to the {web server} is now an ordinary {HTML}
	file, and it is sent to the user.

	Examples of ColdFusion applications include order entry, event
	registration, catalogue search, directories, calendars, and
	interactive training.  ColdFusion applications are robust
	because all database interactions are encapsulated in a single
	industrial-strength {CGI} script.  The formatting and
	presentation can be modified and revised at any time (as
	opposed to having to edit and recompile {source code}).

	ColdFusion Server can connect with any database that supports
	{ODBC} or {OLE DB} or one that has a native database driver.
	Native database drivers are available for {Oracle} and
	{Sybase} databases.

	ColdFusion is available for {Windows}, {Solaris}, and {HP-UX}.
	A {development environment} for creating ColdFusion files,
	called ColdFusion Studio, is also available for {Windows}.

	Current version: MX(6), as of 2003-07-11.

	The {filename extension} for ColdFusion files is .cfm

	{Home (http://www.coldfusion.com/)}.

script writing them to database

1. <database> One or more large structured sets of persistent
	data, usually associated with software to update and {query}
	the data.  A simple database might be a single file containing
	many {records}, each of which contains the same set of
	{fields} where each field is a certain fixed width.

	A database is one component of a {database management system}.

	See also {ANSI/SPARC Architecture}, {atomic}, {blob}, {data
	definition language}, {deductive database}, {distributed
	database}, {fourth generation language}, {functional
	database}, {object-oriented database}, {relational database}.

	{Carol E. Brown's tutorial
	(http://accounting.rutgers.edu/raw/aies/www.bus.orst.edu/faculty/brownc/lectures/db_tutor/db_tutor.htm)}.

	2. <hypertext> A collection of {nodes} managed and stored in
	one place and all accessible via the same {server}.  {Links}
	outside this are "external", and those inside are "internal".

	On the {World-Wide Web} this is called a {website}.

	3. All the facts and rules comprising a {logic programming}
	program.

	(2005-11-17)

. All I get is a string

<programming> A sequence of {data} values, usually {bytes},
	which usually stand for {characters} (a "character string").
	The {mapping} between values and characters is determined by
	the {character set} which is itself specified implcitly or
	explicitly by the environment in which the string is being
	interpreted.

	The most common character set is {ASCII} but, since the late
	1990s, there has been increased interest in larger character
	sets such as {Unicode} where each character is represented by
	more than eight {bits}.

	Most programming languages consider strings (e.g.
	"124:shabooya:\n", "hello world") basically distinct from
	numbers which are typically stored in fixed-length {binary} or
	{floating-point} representation.

	A {bit string} is a sequence of {bits}.

like "??????".

can you verify that they end up in CF correctly? just have CF write

1. <chat> {Unix}'s simple {talk} command and {protocol}.
	write has been largely superseded by {talk} and then {irc}.

	An enhancement, {RWP}, has been proposed.

	2. <tool> A simple {text editor} for {Windows}.

	(1998-04-28)

the text

1. Executable code, especially a "pure code" portion shared
	between multiple instances of a program running in a
	{multitasking} {operating system}.

	Compare {English}.

	2. Textual material in the mainstream sense; data in ordinary
	{ASCII} or {EBCDIC} representation (see {flat ASCII}).  "Those
	are text files; you can review them using the editor."

	These two contradictory senses confuse hackers too.

	[{Jargon File}]

	(1995-03-16)

to
a file

<file system> An element of data storage in a {file system}.

	The history of computing is rich in varied kinds of files and
	{file systems}, whether ornate (e.g., {Macintosh file system}
	for a well-known case) or deficient (e.g., many simple
	pre-1980s file systems don't allow {directories}).

	However, the prototypical file has these characteristics:

	* It is a single sequence of bytes (but consider {Macintosh}
	{resource forks}).

	* It has a finite length, unlike, e.g. a {Unix} {device}.

	* It is stored in a {non-volatile storage} medium (but see
	{ramdrive}).

	* It exists (nominally) in a {directory}.

	* It has a name that it can be referred to by in file
	operations, possibly in combination with its {path}.

	Additionally, a file system may associate other information
	with a file, such as {permission} bits or other {file
	attributes}; timestamps for file creation, last revision, and
	last access; revision numbers (a` la VMS), and other kinds of
	{magic}.

	Compare: {document}.

	(1997-04-08)

.

if you're sure the issue is on the CF end of things, what db? what db driver

1. <operating system> {device driver}.

	2. <programming> The {main loop} of an event-processing
	program; the code that gets commands and dispatches them for
	execution.

	3. <tool> In the {TeX} world and the computerised typesetting
	world in general, a program that translates some
	device-independent or other common format to something a real
	device can actually understand.

hi.

I have problem with polish letters like '?????????' passing from flex to ColdFusion
script writing them to database . All I get is a string like "??????".

My database charset is UTF-8

<character> (UCS transformation format 8) An
	{ASCII}-compatible multibyte {Unicode} and {UCS} encoding,
	used by {Java} and {Plan 9}.

	The {Unicode character} set occupies a 16-bit code space.  The
	most obvious Unicode encoding (known as UCS-2) consists of a
	sequence of 16-bit words.  Such strings can contain bytes like
	'\0' or '/' which have a special meaning in filenames and
	other {C} library function parameters.  In addition, the
	majority of {Unix} tools expects ASCII files and can't read
	16-bit words as characters without major modifications.  For
	these reasons, UCS-2 is not a suitable external encoding of
	Unicode in filenames, text files, environment variables, etc.

	The {ISO 10646} {Universal Character Set} (UCS), a superset of
	Unicode, occupies a 31-bit code space and the obvious UCS-4
	encoding for it (a sequence of 32-bit words) has the same
	problems.

	The UTF-8 encoding of Unicode and UCS avoids the problems of
	fixed-length Unicode encodings because an ASCII file encoded
	in UTF is exactly same as the original ASCII file and all
	non-ASCII characters are guaranteed to have the most
	significant bit set (bit 0x80).  This means that normal tools
	for text searching etc. work as expected.

	UTF-8 is defined in {RFC 2279}.

	["File System Safe UCS Transformation Format (FSS_UTF)",
	X/Open Preliminary Specification, X/Open Company Ltd.,
	Document Number: P316.  This information also appears in
	ISO/IEC 10646, Annex P].

	{Plan 9 UTF manual entry
	(ftp://ftp.uu.net/doc/obi/Bell.Labs/plan9pm/09utf.ps.Z)}.

	(1998-07-29)

and collation of tables is also utf-8
(utf8_general_ci ).everything is utf-8. Variables passed from flex and returned
back from ColdFusion script are fine.

Previously I used to work with php and amfphp and there were no problems with
encoding and database. I'm not newbie

<jargon> /n[y]oo'bee/ (Originally from British public-school
	and military slang variant of "new boy") An inexperienced user
	of {Usenet} or other system.

	This term surfaced in the {newsgroup} {news:talk.bizarre} but
	is now in wide use.  Criteria for being considered a newbie
	vary wildly; a person can be called a newbie in one newsgroup
	while remaining a respected regular in another.  The label
	"newbie" is sometimes applied as a serious insult to a person
	who has been around {Usenet} for a long time but who carefully
	hides all evidence of having a clue.

	See {BIFF}.

what db driver? make sure it's the JDBC

one not ODBC. have you added
"useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8" to the url for the mysql dsn?

<CFFUNCTION name="update" access="remote" returntype="any">
<CFARGUMENT name="str" type="string" required="yes">

this looks ok except that i'd recommend using CFQUERYPARAM & i'm not a big fan
of the "this" scope.

it via ColdFusion Administrator Page and on my remote server

1. A program which provides some service to other ({client})
	programs.  The connection between client and server is
	normally by means of {message passing}, often over a
	{network}, and uses some {protocol} to encode the client's
	requests and the server's responses.  The server may run
	continuously (as a {daemon}), waiting for requests to arrive
	or it may be invoked by some higher level daemon which
	controls a number of specific servers ({inetd} on {Unix}).

	There are many servers associated with the {Internet}, such as
	those for {HTTP}, {Network File System}, {Network Information
	Service} (NIS), {Domain Name System} (DNS), {FTP}, {news},
	{finger}, {Network Time Protocol}.  On Unix, a long list can
	be found in /etc/services or in the {NIS} database "services".
	See {client-server}.

	2. A computer which provides some service for other computers
	connected to it via a network.  The most common example is a
	{file server} which has a local disk and services requests
	from remote clients to read and write files on that disk,
	often using {Sun}'s {Network File System} (NFS) {protocol} or
	{Novell Netware} on {PCs}.  Another common example is a {web
	server}.

I have no access to this
setting I think. Is there another way?

not that I know of, just tell your host

1. <networking> A computer connected to a {network}.

	The term {node} includes devices such as routers and printers
	which would not normally be called "hosts".

	2. <communications> A computer to which one connects using a
	{terminal emulator}.

I use MySQL 5.0.41 .

They end up correctly for sure. I put :
<CFFILE charset="utf-8" output

<architecture> {Data} transferred from a computer system to
	the outside world via some kind of {output device}.

	Opposite: {input}.

	(1997-04-28)

= "#str#" action = "write" file =
"#ExpandPath('./')#foo.txt" attributes = normal >

and it writes the correct string (after I added charset="utf-8" attributes) so
it is OK.

here goes whole function

1. <mathematics> (Or "map", "mapping") If D and C are sets
	(the domain and codomain) then a function f from D to C,
	normally written "f : D -> C" is a subset of D x C such that:

	1. For each d in D there exists some c in C such that (d,c) is
	an element of f.  I.e. the function is defined for every
	element of D.

	2. For each d in D, c1 and c2 in C, if both (d,c1) and (d,c2)
	are elements of f then c1 = c2.  I.e. the function is uniquely
	defined for every element of D.

	See also {image}, {inverse}, {partial function}.

	2. <programming> Computing usage derives from the mathematical
	term but is much less strict.  In programming (except in
	{functional programming}), a function may return different
	values each time it is called with the same argument values
	and may have {side effects}.

	A {procedure} is a function which returns no value but has
	only {side-effects}.  The {C} language, for example, has no
	procedures, only functions.  {ANSI C} even defines a {type},
	{void}, for the result of a function that has no result.

oh. thank you.

it's working when I added 'useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf8'. but I did
it via ColdFusion Administrator Page and on my remote server I have no access to this
setting I think. Is there another way?
