UTF8 and xercers exception : UTFDataFormatException

[Thomas Krämer <kr...@smail.uni-koeln.de>]

Hello,

i try to parse metadata records with the apache commons digester, which uses xerces.

unfortunately, almost all that metadata is declared as UTF-8, which causes a


java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.
	at org.apache.xerces.impl.io.UTF8Reader.invalidByte(Unknown Source)ava.io.UTFDataFormatException: 
Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.
	at org.apache.xerces.impl.io.UTF8Reader.invalidByte(Unknown Source)


when i try to read an xml file such as the one attached below.


in the archive i found a hint, which recommends to change the encoding to ISO-8859-1,
but , of course, this does not help if done at digestion time.

Any suggestions?

kind regards
thomas
