DOM - Parsing XML document with "Windows-1252" encoding.
Developers,
I am using the DOMParser (under Solaris) to parse a simple XML document
into memory. Unfortunately, the XML file is in "Windows-1252"
encoding. i.e. The document header has <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="Windows-1252" ?> and each line in the document ends with a CR
(without LF). If I run my code, I get the following error message:
Error in parsing: The encoding "Windows-1252" is not supported.
What's the best way to work around this? I'd hate to have to retrieve
the document, and convert the CR/LF pairs to CR and then change the
encoding type, just to get this to work...
Sincerely,
Robert

Try using the encoding name "cp1252".

RE: DOM - Parsing XML document with "Windows-1252" encoding.

Hey Bob.
I got the same problem 3 weeks ago and I got it resolved by the following
email I rcvd from Andy Clark of XML APACHE developer group.
Solution #3 worked for me.
Hope this'll help.

****************************************************
The problem is that "Windows-1252" is *not* a valid encoding name.
The XML specification states that all encoding names must be IANA
names. However, "Windows-1252" is not. Unfortunately, when the
Microsoft XML parser writes an XML document, it automatically
includes this encoding.
There are several solutions:
1) Convert all of the incoming documents from "Windows-1252"
encoding to a proper encoding. Make sure to modify the
encoding line at the top of the file to reflect the change.
2) Modify the encoding line in all of your files to be
"Cp1252" (case is important this time). Then turn on the
following feature in the parser:
http://apache.org/xml/features/allow-java-encodings
Please note that your documents won't be portable in much
the same way that using the "Windows-1252" encoding name
doesn't work everywhere.
3) Modify the MIME2Java.java source file to include a mapping
for "Windows-1252" to "Cp1252". Recompile and rebuild the
Jar file. Use the new Jar file and you're done.
