Re: Call with different character encoding

[Bernie Bernstein]

I found a much easier way to do this by making only a minor  
modification to org.apache.axis.client.Call.java.

I added a new property:
    public static final String CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING    =  
SOAPMessage.CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING;

and made the appropriate changes in the property checking code.
Then in invoke(SOAPEnvelope), it sets the message  
CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING to the one set in the Call.

            if (getProperty(CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING) != null) {
                msg.setProperty(SOAPMessage.CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING,  
getProperty(CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING));
            }

I'm new to the Axis project group. Is there an appropriate way to  
submit this for insertion into the project? Perhaps there is a better  
way to do this that I haven't heard of yet, but I haven't found one  
yet. This code will make it possible to set the Character encoding to  
anything when making the Call.

To use it, you'd just use the setProperty() method to set the  
Call.CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING property to whatever character encoding you  
want before invoking the call.

eg:
call.setProperty(Call.CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING, "ISO-8859-1");

It wasn't easy, but it involved creating a new Message object, setting  
it's char encoding to "ISO-8859-1", and then assembling the envelope  
to send to Call.

So, just to start, I'm trying to get my test client to request the  
data in ISO-8859-1 just to see what happens when I change the global  
"axis.xmlEncoding" to ISO-8859-1. So far, that doesn't seem to be  
changing the default anywhere. Looking at the AxisServlet code, I see  
that the encoding is set by the request.

So, now I need to figure out how to set the encoding of the request.
