According to
http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
UNICODEBIG is NOT a valid IANA character set name. UnicodeBig DOES
seem to be a java alias for UTF-16BE -- so that explains why it works
on the incoming side.
Interesting. I picked 'UNICODEBIG' from the source of Save.java - or
was it EntryMapping.java - I'm off site atm and don't remember the
filename exactly. The method was something like convertIANATojava() so
I thought it actually contained valid IANA character encoding names.
FYI UnicodeBig is NOT the Java alias for UTF-16BE, it's
UnicodeBigUnmarked:
I didn't say UnicodeBig was THE alias for UTF-16BE, I said it was AN
alias for UTF-16BE. The IANA page does not (always) list java aliases
for every character set.
charset:UTF-16BE
alias:X-UTF-16BE
alias:UnicodeBigUnmarked
alias:UTF_16BE
alias:ISO-10646-UCS-2
XmlBeans _only_ defines UNICODEBIG to correspond to UTF-16BE. So it
still seems impossible to support UTF-16BE (IANA ISO-10646-UCS-2).
As I said above, UNICODEBIG is a java alias for UTF-16BE, so why
shouldn't XmlBeans define this mapping?
NOTE: I initially tried (and would prefer) to use ISO-10646-UCS-2 as
this is identical in IANA and Java. It does not work. No IANA/Java
translation is required and XmlBeans still gets it wrong.
Why not just use UTF-16BE, which is the canonical IANA name for this
character set? Does XmlBeans still have the wrong behavior, for either
incoming or outgoing documents, if you specify UTF-16BE as the charset?
If so, then I agree we have a bug.
This is a bug.
I'm not an XML beans developer, but I'm not sure I agree (unless, as I
said there is a problem with specifying UTF-16BE). Though certainly
there may be, and probably are, some mappings missing for certain IANA
aliases.
Cheers,
Raman
