------------------------------------------
Summary: XalanJ does not support UTF-16LE
Key: XALANJ-2619
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2619
Project: XalanJ2
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: No security risk; visible to anyone (Ordinary problems in
Xalan projects. Anybody can view the issue.)
Components: Serialization
Affects Versions: 2.7.2
Reporter: Michael Holtermann
Assignee: Steven J. Hathaway
The Xalan Serializer does not support UTF-16LE. UTF-16 is supported.
*To reproduce*
Create a stylesheet containing
{code}
<xsl:output method="text" version="1.0" media-type="text/csv"
encoding="UTF-16LE" />
{code}
This will cause a warning on transformation on {{System.out}}:
{noformat}
Warning: The encoding 'UTF-16LE' is not supported by the Java runtime.
Warning: encoding "UTF-16LE" not supported, using UTF-8
{noformat}
caused by {{org.apache.xml.serializer.ToStream.setProp(String, String,
boolean)}}.
With serializer-2.7.0, only the first line of the warning was printed, but the
file was rendered in UTF-16LE.
UTF-16LE should be supported by any JVM, see
{{java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets.UTF_16LE}}.
If I add
{noformat}
UTF-16LE UTF-16LE
{noformat}
to the {{Encodings.properties}} file, it works as expected.
*Proposed Solution*
Please add UTF-16LE to {{Encodings.properties}}.
*Side note*
{{org.apache.xml.serializer.Encodings.loadEncodingInfo()}} refers to a System
Property "encodings" that could be used to overwrite the location of the
{{Encodings.properties}}. That code contribution has been removed with
XALANJ-2220, so currently it's impossible to provide an alternative
{{Encoding.properties}}.
*Use Case*
To be able to open a CVS with one click in a German localized MS Excel, the
file must be encoded in UTF-16LE with BOM and use the column-separator "	"
(tab).
