Problem marshalling/unmarshalling UTF-8 document containing a pound symbol

[K Grindley <ea...@merseymail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to marshal a document whose content contains an embedded '�'
symbol. The document is
marshalled using UTF-8 encoding and I would have expected the '�' to have
been rendered as
a valid Xml artifact (escaped). However, editing the source document
confirms that the '�' is written
literally. When I try to unmarshal the same document I get the following
message:

Caused by: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: Parsing error. Invalid byte 1 of
1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

I must confess I don't really understand this message: does this mean JAxMe
is only expecting a
one-byte UTF-8 stream? I thought UTF-8 and therefore JAxMe could handle
multi-byte character encoding?
Do I have to write a specific XMLWriter to escape this (and other) symbols
or have I missed something fundamental?

Any help would begratefully received.

Regards

This error message is not created by JaxMe, but by the XML parser.
Most possibly, the fault is on your side. A typical reason would be,
that you have an UTF-8 encoded file and parse it by creating a
FileReader, but not a FileInputStream.
