First off, thanks for providing this open source XML library. I have been using with pleasure for a while now.
The two methods mentioned above are not doing their job correctly, though. I have dom4j 1.5.2, JDK 1.4.2_07 on Windows2000. Try this: import org.dom4j.Document; import org.dom4j.DocumentHelper; public class TestDom4J { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { String xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?><Message>Hi there</Message>"; Document doc = DocumentHelper.parseText (xml); System.out.println ("The encoding is " + doc.getXMLEncoding ()); System.out.println ("As XML: " + doc.asXML ()); } } The result is: The encoding is null As XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Message>Hi there</Message> Besides, where can I open a defect ? I have not found a link. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
