XSP and Japanese characters...

["Stephane Mouchel Vichard (Japan)" <sm...@ludiwap.co.jp>]

	Hello,

	I would like to use XSP code in my XML files, but I meet problems
with japonese characters. Indeed, until now, I was using simple XML files
and everything was OK. But when I tried to adapt the file to accept XSP
code, all the japanese characters where converted in "?????".

	I tried the following command in cocoon.properties:
		processor.xsp.encoding = Shift_Jis
	but I received a error message telling that Shif_Jis is not
supported by Cocoon.

	Does anybody have an idea ?

	Thanks,
	Stephane Mouchel

You will find life *much* easier if you use UTF8 for your charset encoding
of your XML and output. It supports Japanese completely and is XML's
native encoding. If you need to transform SJIS to UTF8, you should look
for a Perl module named 'Jcode' at CPAN (Or alternatively a module I just
uploaded named Unicode::MapUTF8 which wraps Jcode and other Unicode
related modules in a single simple API).
