UTF-8 Encoding problem

Hi All,

	I was wondering if someone would be able to answer a question I have.

I parse the a document as UTF-8 using xerces c 2.2.0 and get an error in my
custom handler stating the following error.

Fatal Error line 5, col 15, Message:An Exception occurred!
Type:TranscodingException, Message:An invalid multi-byte source text
sequence was encountered

The actual entry in the XML file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Maintenance>
	<DMPair>
		<Instance>1</Instance>
		<Name>simeecauaeiouaeiou</Name> <!-- Exception here -->
		<ServerPort>9001</ServerPort>
		<IpAddressNode0>172.16.3.28</IpAddressNode0>
		<IpAddressNode1>172.16.3.29</IpAddressNode1>
		<Enabled>False</Enabled>
		<FailureRoutingType>3</FailureRoutingType>
		<FailureRoutingData>2</FailureRoutingData>
	</DMPair>
</Maintenance>

I am pretty sure that the characters in the Name tag are fine since I have
look at the UTF-8 spec and their character values appear to in the valid set
of unicode characters, also this document parses fine using Xerces-J-2.6.2.

Any insight into this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Pete

Hi There,

    Thanks to everyone for the reply, however if I actually encoded the
characters in the name tag as UTF-8 then xerces was fine.

Thanks again

Pete

  Peter,

      I've tried your sample instance file with the current version, 2.5.0
and did not see any exception,
  can you use this version rather than 2.2.0?
