xalanc at the cmd not using the right encoding

[Björn Tietjens <bj...@alfa.de>]

Hello,

i am trying to do the following with xalanc:

xalan -t -v -e iso-8859-5 -o outfile xmlfile xslfile

and the encoding of the xmlfile is UTF-8

that is I want to make a transformation and safe the output in 
iso-8859-5 encoding.

The transformation works fine but for some reason the new encoding 
doesn't work.

Can anyone tell me what else to consider ?

It's probably happening because Xerces-C doesn't support ISO-8859-5 without 
building with the ICU transcoding service.  You might try ISO-8859-1 which 
_is_ supported in the standard configuration.  If that works, then it's 
because the encoding isn't supported.

If you don't see a warning, you could file a Jira issue asking to have one 
added.
