Hi all,
I am having a little fun with 'accented characters' in an application
i'm working with at the minute.
Through various tracing and debug methods, i can see that the characters
are correctly being propogated around the system until the point where
they are added to a DOM in Xerces.
After subsequent writing of the DOM to a MemBufFormatTarget* and
retrieval through the getRawBuffer() interface, the data is -corrupt-.
(i get characters out, but they are not accented and not the chars from
my buffer)
To remove any potential issues in the application, i've altered the
DOMPrint sample to write to the same type of target. It correctly parses
and writes the small XML document I've given it with accented characters
and in the codepage:: iso-8859-1.
I then added some code to add another node with some accented
characters, and these do not appear in the output. (which is
interesting, my app is giving me corrupt data and the sampl isn't giving
me anything).
I'm running v240 at the moment under a linux variant, and i've set the
shell locale to the same as the xml document being parsed. However the
application still reports the locale as "C", so I'm going to try a few
more things.
But I've a feelling I'm missing something basic. Do I need to do
something special with the Transcoder class, or the DOM document when
adding an element and text node ?
I'm sure somebody has met this already. Any pointers ?
Thanks and Regards
Dara
