http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15130 malformed encoding when SOAPBodyElement's data are not ISO8859_1 characters Summary: malformed encoding when SOAPBodyElement's data are not ISO8859_1 characters Product: Axis Version: 1.1beta Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: Other Component: Serialization/Deserialization AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I tried to run the sample "message", I found that if SOAPBodyElement encapsulate some characters other than ISO8859_1, for example, Chinese characters, Axis could not encoding them to UTF-8 when construct the SOAP message stream transfered over HTTP. I used SOAP Monitor to monitor the SOAP messages and detected a malformed encoding--the encoding of SOAP message was UTF-8, but the Chinese characters I inserted in the message by SOAPBodyElement remained GB2312(a Chinese encoding standard) without encoding to UTF-8! So, when the server side recived this message, XML parser threw a malformed characters exception. The code is as follow: TestMsg.java DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance ().newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = builder.newDocument(); Element cdataElem = doc.createElementNS("urn:foo", "e3"); CDATASection cdata = doc.createCDATASection("If here are some Chinese characters, it can not work"); cdataElem.appendChild(cdata); input[2] = new SOAPBodyElement(cdataElem); Same thing happened once again when I tried to define a serializable class as a parameter of JAX-RPC call which contain a string and a DataHandler. the class is defined as follow: public class AttachWrapper implements java.io.Serializable { javax.activation.DataHandler content; java.lang.String title; } when I construct an AttachWrapper object and set some Chinese characters in title variable, then call a JAX-RPC method via WSDL2java generated stub putting the object as a parameter, I found that the characters are malformed too in the SOAP Monitor.
