Using Selenium Java get special characters (Chinese, Japanese) but gives?

I have a requirement where I would like to read combination of English and non English characters from a dropdown on Web UI
Example- abcd , efgh, 你好, こんにちは
public void test(){
dropdown.click();
Select newValues = new Select(dropdown);
List<WebElement> listNewValues = countryValues.getOptions();
ArrayList<String> actualDropDownItems = new ArrayList();
for(WebElement value : listNewValues){
actualDropDownItems.add(value.getText());
System.out.println(value.getText().toString());
}
If I try to run and print this, I get ?? for Chinese and Japanese values.
Please note I have read some of the previous suggestions and in eclipse at project> properties level> Resource> Other is set to UTF-8.
Everywhere it is suggested to use UTF-8. But what else can I do If I have already set this at project properties level.
Is there any other easier way of getting this non-English characters? Any help is appreciated.
P.S. I had also tried using BufferedWriter approach, but it gives me ­å›½æ—¥æœ¬ëŒ€í•œë¯¼êµ­ instead of 你好, こんにちは

Running simple System.out.println("你好"); was not giving me correct output on Eclipse console.
Looks like setting eclipse at project level was not doing anything to help me.
project> properties level> Resource> Other is set to UTF-8
Did right click on test, Coverage As> Coverage configuration > Common and then set Other to UTF-8, solved my problem.

How to change slf4j log into html link

I have java code as:
final URI myUri = new URIBuilder()
.setScheme(azkabanHostProtocol)
.setHost(azkabanHost + ":" + azkabanPort)
.setPath("/executor")
.setParameter("execid", executionID).build();
logger.info(myUri.toString());
I want to display myURI in form of an url/html link into Azkaban's logs so that by clicking on the url it is opened. I am using log4j for logging.

You may create your own Layout class extending HTMLLayout .
Then override the format method to suit your needs.
The actual implementation has the following lines, that you may want to replace :
sbuf.append(Transform.escapeTags(event.getRenderedMessage()));
See that all tags in the message String, will be escaped by default.
Your version could be based on a kind of marker, say String mark = "[LINK]"; for instance
if(event.getRenderedMessage().startsWith(mark)){
String uri = event.getRenderedMessage().substring(mark.length());
String link = "" + uri + "";
sbuf.append(link);
}
else
sbuf.append(Transform.escapeTags(event.getRenderedMessage()));
And you would call the logger this way :
logger.info(mark + myUri.toString());
The following topic will help you use a custom HTMLLayout : how to change htmllayout in log4j2
Here is the source code for the default HTMLLayout, as a starter.

How do you view the Azkaban log files? If they are just raw text files being viewed with a vanilla text editor then there is no way to accomplish what you want. If you are viewing them in a smarter UI then you need to format them according to what that UI requires.
In short, the answer to your question is completely driven by whatever tool you are using to view the logs.

How to Replace a String to Output Different Text Using Eclipse

My issue is wanting to replace the content of a String with another String. For example, if I have the word Generating Code.., then after waiting two seconds, I want the program to replace Generating Code with Generating Code Successful.
* Note that I am using Eclipse, and the following code works for Notepad *
String code = "Generating code...\r";
String successful = code.replaceAll(code, "Generating the code has been successful.\r");
[...]
try {
System.out.print(code); // prints out Generating Code
Thread.sleep(2000); // Waits two seconds
System.out.print(successful); // Replaces Generating Code with has been successful
}
This code works in Notepad because the \r replaces the text. However, in Eclipse \r does not replace the text, and instead ends the line. Is there a way of getting this functionality to work in Eclipse?
My code in Eclipse is identical to that listed here that works in Notepad++.

java regex matcher results != to notepad++ regex find result

I am trying to extract data out of a website access log as part of a java program. Every entry in the log has a url. I have successfully extracted the url out of each record.
Within the url, there is a parameter that I want to capture so that I can use it to query a database. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the web developers used any one standard to write the parameter's name.
The parameter is usually called "course_id", but I have also seen "courseId", "course%3DId", "course%253Did", etc. The format for the parameter name and value is usually course_id=_22222_1, where the number I want is between the "_" and "_1". (The value is always the same, even if the parameter name varies.)
So, my idea was to use the regex /^.*course_id[^_]*_(\d*)_1.*$/i to find and extract the number.
In java, my code is
java.util.regex.Pattern courseIDPattern = java.util.regex.Pattern.compile(".*course[^i]*id[^_]*_(\\d*)_1.*", java.util.regex.Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
java.util.regex.Matcher courseIDMatcher = courseIDPattern.matcher(_url);
_courseID = "";
if(courseIDMatcher.matches())
{
_courseID = retrieveCourseID(courseIDMatcher.group(1));
return;
}
This works for a lot of the records. However, some records do not record the course_id, even though the parameter is in the url. One such example is the record:
/webapps/contentDetail?course_id=_223629_1&content_id=_3641164_1&rich_content_level=RICH&language=en_US&v=1&ver=4.1.2
However, I used notepad++ to do a regex replace on this (in fact, every) url using the regex above, and the url was successfully replaced by the course ID, implying that the regex is not incorrect.
Am I doing something wrong in the java code, or is the java matcher broken?

Error when using Esapi validation

I hope someone could help me with some issue.
I'm using OWASP ESAPI 2.1.0 with JavaEE, to help me to validate some entries in a web application. At some point I needed to validate a Windows file path, so I added a new property entry in the 'validation.properties' like this one:
Validator.PathFile=^([a-zA-Z]:)?(\\\\[\\w. -]+)+$
When I try to validate, for example, a string like "C:\TEMP\file.txt" via ESAPI, I get a ValidationException:
ESAPI.validator().getValidInput("PathFile", "C:\\TEMP\\file.txt", "PathFile", 100, false);
Alternatively, I also tried the java.util.regex.Pattern class to test the same regular expression with the same string example and it works OK:
Pattern.matches("^([a-zA-Z]:)?(\\\\[\\w. -]+)+$", "C:\\TEMP\\file.txt")
I must say that I added other regex in 'validation.properties' and worked OK. Why this one is so hard? Could anyone help me out with this one?

This is happening because the call to validator().getValidInput("PathFile", "C:\\TEMP\\file.txt", "PathFile", 100, false); wraps a call to ESAPI.encoder().canonicalize() that is transforming the input to the char sequence (Not literal String!) C:TEMP'0x0C'ile.txt before it passes to the regex engine.
Except for the second "\" getting converted to the char 0x0c this is normally desired behavior. That could be a bug in ESAPI.
What you want, is to make a call to ESAPI.validator().getValidDirectoryPath()
