win-1251 encoding support
hi all!
I use xerces-j 1.3.0 with jdk 1.1.8
and I try to parse xml files which was written under windows-1251
encoding. And I have an error: unsupported encoding "windows-1251".
So, what can I do to avoid this problem?

I stand corrected. Thank you. For the official list, check out:
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets
In the meantime, if you want to use Java encoding names,
then you should turn on that feature in the parser. Here's
an example:
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/allow-java-encodings",
true);

The IANA name is `windows-1251'; try `Cp1251', which is probably the
alias java is using. (Cp == Code page).

Use the IANA encoding name that is equivalent to the Windows
encoding name that you are currently using. I'm not sure what
that is, though.

I have found at iana:
+++
Name: windows-1251
MIBenum: 2251
Source: Microsoft (see ../character-set-info/windows-1251)
[Lazhintseva]
Alias:
+++
Try looking in: src/org/apache/xerces/readers/MIME2Java.java the xerces
supported encoding are there.
On the machine where the data where typed in try the following test:
+++
encoding = System.getProperty("file.encoding", "8859_1");
+++
Of course 8859_1 is not the excepted answer!
Then check for this one in MIME2Java.java.
