After that i tried to send the INI and HIA command to the Bank. This was succesfull to swiss Postfinance.

Maybe someone can give me a hint for the error above.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

It is unclear to me where this character 'e' comes from. Did you add your own resource bundle property files? In the files which are included with this ebics client the date format is defined as

Letter.dateFormat = dd.MM.yyyy

in src/main/resources/org/kopi/ebics/letter/messages_en.properties

And what Java version do you use?

[Fabo09]

Thanks for your answer

I did not changed anything. The Date Format is still the same. The File looks as:

I also tried and changed all the original files (src\main\resources\org\kopi\ebics ) from fr to en. But i had the same issus.

My java Version is: Version 8 Update 251 (Build 1.8.0_251-b08).
It's on Win10x64

[Fabo09]

I Found the problem

In the ebics.txt, i set the language code to de. After i changed that to en (or fr) it works fine.
Is there a way to change it to DE (DE-DE). And let the progamm take files as messages_de.properties?
if not i'll change the en file as a workaround.

[uwemaurer]

Thanks for investigating this. I can reproduce the problem now and will work on a fix.

Yes you should be able to add a file "messages_de.properties" in the correct location (where the messages_en.properties" is)
src/main/resources/org/kopi/ebics/client/messages_en.properties
You need to do this for all the property files.

You can also set the default locale to english Locale.setDefault(Locale.ENGLISH);, then it will automatically fallback to the english strings if there is no matching german translation.
