unicode support

[Ted Slusser <te...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,  I am trying to specify a unicode character in
an xml file that is consumed by digester.  When the
xml file is processed digester converts the unicode to
a literal string.  e.g. '\u00AE' becomes the string
"\\u00AE" which actually renders to "\u00AE".  Is
there some way to support unicode in digester?

Thanks,

Ted Slusser

What encoding are you specifying in the XML declaration at the top of your
file? If you specify UTF-8, you should be able to just drop the UTF-8
characters directly into your XML file.

Hello Ted!

Besides
    &0x00AE; (J.Pietschmann)
and
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <!-- edit this with UTF-8 enabled editor -->
    
    (Martin Cooper)

you may also _try_ to use your favourite encoding,
for instnace this might work

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>

    <!-- edit with my favourite editor that supports
         editing texts in windows-1251 (windows cyrillic) -->

(substitute windows-1251 for your favourite)

Whether this will be accepted or not depends on the
XML parser that actually gets used. I recall that certain
versions of Xerces or Crimson (now shipped inside JDK 1.4,
essentially same as Xerces) did accept my favourite windows-1251,
while otheres refused. Try it.

P.S. These are just general XML handling issues, not Digester's.
What has been said is true to any xml document.

Your source is XML? In this case you need to use XML
character references instead of Java Unicode escapes:
  &0x00AE;
(including the semicolon) would do the trick. For
additional info read the XML spec:

i had assumed (perhaps naively) that digester supported unicode correctly.
  certainly, this is the first issue i've heard of. if you could supply a 
simple test case demonstrating the problem (preferable one that you'd be 
willing to donate to the ASF) then i'll take a look.
