RE: Converting from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-I with Axis2 and Java

Bruno,

ISO-8859-1 is a superset of ASCII, and does include the characters you pointed out, so the encoding is correct.

Guys, I found an interesting point. Since my SOAP server is using iso-8859-1, and the xml it sends do set the encoding to iso-8859-1, the
(OMElement) response.getXMLStreamReader().getCharacterEncodingScheme() method should print the string "ISO-8859-1", but it is printin "utf-8".

I think this proves the axis2 libraries will interpret the bytes read from the network as UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1, doesn't it?

Bellow is an example of the SOAP response my SOAP server is sending to me (I used tcpmon to get this text)

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-length: 1269

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
   <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
      <soap:Body>
         <AgendaPesquisa>
            <status>0</status>
            <ListaContatosPesquisa>
               <tipo>C</tipo>
               <dono>lucia</dono>
               <posicao>177</posicao>

               <email></email>
            </ListaContatosPesquisa>
         </AgendaPesquisa>
      </soap:Body>
   </soap:Envelope>

Bellow is the code snippet from the method where I call ServiceClient.sendReceive() to get the response OMElement.

    private OMElement doSoap(String methodName, OMElement method) throws AxisFault {
        final EndpointReference targetEPR = new EndpointReference(planetfoneURL + "/pfappspabxutils");
        ServiceClient client = new ServiceClient();
        Options options = new Options();
        options.setTo(targetEPR);
        options.setAction(planetfoneURL + "/" + methodName + "#" + methodName);
        options.setProperty(org.apache.axis2.context.MessageContextConstants.CHUNKED,org.apache.axis2.Constants.VALUE_FALSE );
        options.setProperty("CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING", "ISO-8859-1");
        client.setOptions(options);
        OMElement response;
        response = client.sendReceive(method);
        //DEBUG
        System.out.println(response.getXMLStreamReader().getCharacterEncodingScheme());
        //END DEBUG
        return response;
    }

Is axis2 ignoring that my server is sending iso-8859-1 data?

thank you,
bruno.
