Dear James Strachan,
I am unable to figure out how to get the original encoding of an XML document using Dom4j. I have seen email comments, etc. stating that this is impossible. My question is: is this true? and if so, why?
The reason I need this is that some documents are in ISO-8859-1 and others are in UTF-8. If I read in ISO-8859-1 with German special characters and write it back again as UTF-8, then the resulting document is no longer viewable with a simple ASCII text editor, at least as far as the special characters are concerned. So I really do need to get the original encoding in order to rewrite the modified document correctly.
If I have to, I will pre-read the XML document to get the encoding by hand. But I would really love to spare this hopefully unnecessary effort!
If you could send me a comment on this problem or better yet, a solution,
I would be very happy!
Thanks, Klaus Engelhardt
