ISO-8859-1 problems

[Martijn Houtman]

I managed to get ISO-8859-1 xml search results from htdig and display it in a page using an xsl transformation:   <%@ page session="false" language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://www.mmbase.org/mmbase-taglib-1.0" prefix="mm" %> <mm:import id="QueryString"><%= request.getQueryString() %></mm:import> <mm:formatter xslt="xsl/search.xsl"> <mm:include page="http://10.0.0.1/cgi-bin/htsearch.exe?${QueryString}" /> </mm:formatter> I use also ISO-8859-1 encoding in the xsl transformation:   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1" />   This works well when encoding ISO-8859-1 is set in mmbaseroot.xml. However, when I use UTF-8 the ISO-8859-1 characters display garbage. Finally, I managed to display them well using the workaround:   <%@ page session="false" language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://www.mmbase.org/mmbase-taglib-1.0" prefix="mm" %> <mm:import id="QueryString"><%= request.getQueryString() %></mm:import> <mm:import jspvar="XstlResult"> <mm:formatter xslt="xsl/search.xsl"> <mm:include page="http://10.0.0.1/cgi-bin/htsearch.exe?${QueryString}" /> </mm:formatter> </mm:import> <%= new String(XstlResult.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8") %>   It may be that mmbase does not check the encoding in   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>   when reading xml and treats it as UTF-8 in case mmbaseroot.xml is set to UTF-8.   Is this a known bug?   Martijn Houtman
