ANSI or Unicode ?

Hi all,
Can we use a ANSI Encoding for a SOAP Message  (instead of utf-8)?

Apache SOAP always sends messages as utf-8.  The SOAP specification does not make this restriction.  If your payloads only contain ASCII characters, of course, the utf-8 encoded stream is the an ASCII encoded stream, other than the encoding specified in the XML declaration.
