Error description
The first line of comment text in a JavaScript file generated by the 'Create a Dojo Widget' wizard is corrupted and cannot be recovered when using Japanese locale and the workbench encoding is not set to UTF-8. If the corrupted line is not deleted, it prevents saving the JavaScript file later. ?Recreation steps? 1. Install the Japanese language from the Installation Manager and start Rational Application Developer with -nl ja option from command prompt to get Japanese menus. 2. Create a new 2.5 dynamic Web project named 'Test' targeted to WebSphere Application Server 7.0 3. Change configuration to install the Dojo tools facet and accept the defaults 4. Create a new Dojo widget [New] ? [Web] ? [Dojo Widget] [Copy the information from the tutorial in Tutorials ? Web ? Create a Web 2.0 application with Dojo ? Lesson 7: Create a custom Dojo widget] Module Name = widgets Widget Name = RateAndComment Source Folder = /Test/WebContent/dojo 5. Click Finish When you finish the creation wizard, RateAndComments.js will open in the editor. The opening comment is corrupted. 6. Delete a space, add it back, and then you cannot save the JavaScript file unless you delete the first line comment. The error in Japanese Windows says that part of the content could not be mapped to MS932 encoding (Japanese Windows default). ?Expected? If you start Rational Application Developer in English you get normal behavior with a comment called: // dojo.provide allows pages to use all of the types declared in this resource. ?Actual? Starting Rational Application Developer in Japanese causes generation of the JavaScript file to corrupt the comment text.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An incorrect workspace encoding of JavaScript files while in a Japanese locale can cause the first line comment to be corrupted.
Problem conclusion
Ensure that the workbench encoding preferences are set to UTF-8 which is able to handle Japanese characters. Changes to Rational Application Developer have been made for version 8.0.2 to not corrupt the first line comment.
