I'm consuming this XML:

<SomePerson>

as follows:

 final String response = new RestTemplateBuilder()
                    .build()
                    .getForObject("someURL", String.class);

// Do something with string response

final JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(MyClass.class);

final Unmarshaller jaxbUnmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();

final JAXBElement<MyClass> sanctionList = jaxbUnmarshaller.unmarshal(new StreamSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(response.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8))), MyClass.class);

But all I see in the database:

and in my JSON api/frontend is:

Гулзина  Качкыновна Орозбекова   
Шохобидин  Шарабидинович Ðурматов  
Талантбек  Шарипжанович Ормонов 
Жибек  Эркинбековна Омуркулова

I've tried using ru_RU.UTF-8 encoding for my Postgres database, and got the same result with UTF-8. What is causing this? Is this database related or the client/Java related or even Spring's RestTemplate related?

CodePudding user response：

It was caused by the bad encoding in HTTP transport, credit to a_horse_with_no_name Fixed by:

 final String response = new RestTemplateBuilder()
                    .messageConverters(new StringHttpMessageConverter(StandardCharsets.UTF_8))
                    .build()
                    .getForObject("someURL", String.class);
