XML parsing error

[Dave Carlson <da...@hewitt.com>]

Hi, I am new to this list. We are having a problem. We have documents with 
UTF characters in them (ie   == space), and when we parse them on 
Windows, we get the correct output. However, when we parse them on Unix, 
we get either a "?" or "\040". We have been working with the Unix LANG 
environment variable, as well as "file.encoding"> We can't get this to 
output the correct value. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Dave,

When you refer to output, are you writing the document to System.out or
System.err? Those streams (and every other PrintStream) will write strings
in your platform's native encoding, and if a particular character cannot
be represented, it's written as a '?'. If you want to write Java strings
to a file or elsewhere in a particular encoding, you should have a look at
java.io.OutputStreamWriter.

Hope that helps.
