Unicode support in JSTL xml tags

[Siddharth <si...@cbk.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to parse a xml file with a non-english Unicode content using jstl's xml tag. But I get the error, "Content not allowed in Prolog". I tried to parse the same xml with other parsers like msxml, jaxp and it works fine. I can even print the textual form of the xml using <c:out>. Where am I going wrong? Is there something I should do before parsing Unicode xml files? 

This is the sample xml file, test.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
	வேர்
</root>

and the JSTL code was,

<c:import url="test.xml" var="xfile"/>
<x:parse xml="${xfile}" var="xdoc"/>
<x:out select="$xdoc/root"/>


Thanx for the attention.

Siddharth.

Hi Siddharth,

You might have to specify the charEncoding for the <c:import> because it 
might be defaulting to ISO-8859-1.

Try this:

<c:import url="test.xml" var="xfile" charEncoding="UTF-8" />
