Determining encoding based on source document

Is is possible to use Xerces-J to attempt to determine what encoding to use?
Often times our users do not specify an encoding. Rather than defaultig to
UTF-8 I would like to first try and figure it out programatically and then
set it.

If Xerces does not have utilities that can assist me can anyone point me to
existing ones?

Thanks in advance,
Lisa
