Hello..

I'm using the SearchWS web service to expose the FAST search capabilities.

I'm having a problem with navigators.

for example when I select this 2 Navigators, the second doen't filter anything.

myQuery.GENERIC_PARAMETER = "&view=tudosppublished&navigation=+personnames:^\"Cristiano Ronaldo\"$+docdatetime:[;2009-05-22T23:59:00Z]"

the first has 294 hits, and the second 82, but the resultset remains with the 294 hits.

Sometime I can select to about 4 or 5 navigators and works fine, but other times the result remains non filtered.

Does anybody knows what might be the problem? What I'm doing wrong?

best regards

Well...the problem is related with the charset encoding...

Trying to solve the problem, but the server always responds with strange symbols.

The "strange" symbols are appearing because in some part of the communication chain, the information is written using charset UTF-8 and read using charset ISO-8859-1.

-The web service client uses the encoding: UTF-8 (encoding="UTF-8")
-The web service config file uses UTF-8
-The SBC uses UTF-8

Where this "ISO-8859-1 reading" might be happening?

best regards

Solved the problem with the charset encoding...Now I'm using ISO-8859-1 an it work fine.

The problem with the navigators had a different origin. Since with webservices the selected navigators are set in the generic parameter and it travels in the GET, it's necessary to encode all the non ASCII chars.

Now I have other problem...I'm getting this:



on the SFE. And the same problem occurs in the webservice client.

Is this a platform bug? or a config problem?
It generates an navigator with this modifier: "5000 01 01T00 00 00Z" and it can't process it...
