UTF-8/Latin-1 problem
Hi,
I'm working on a project where xml's might have all sorts of encodings. The
parser deals with the UTF-8 stuff just fine, but when it gets a Latin-1
(iso-8859-1), it produces useless characters unless I set the encoding
explicitly.
Now I can't quite believe that the parser won't read the encoding from the
XML, so my question is, am I missing something? Is there a way to get the
parser to sort of "autodetect" an XML file's encoding?
I'm currently testing on the SAX2SAX sample in the Xalan-Java 2 download.
Thanks loads in advance,
Britta

We had a similar problem - we were unable to show
German characters on browser and we though it's a
browers problem. But I think you must try compiling
your Java classes with this option :
"javac -Dfile:codepage=1252 yourclass.java"
It should solve the problem.
