Hi ,
I worked on it a bit more and found that the problem is not with writing
but with reading the xml file. While reading the xml file the apostrophe is
converted to some illegal character..The xml file being read is a Word
document saved as xml usng word2003. Tried using inputsource to resolve the
problem but without any success. Here is the code I used:
org.dom4j.io.SAXReader xmlReader = new SAXReader(); //
Using a SAX parsing reader.
xmlReader.setXMLReaderClassName("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
InputSource source = new InputSource(new
FileReader(wmlFile));
source.setEncoding("UTF-8");
this.docWML = xmlReader.read(source);
System.out.println(docWML.asXML());
I will appreciate if someone could help me with this.
Thanks,
Bejoy Nair

Hi,
I tried doing the same but still got the illegal characters.
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("Document.xml");
OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
format.setEncoding("UTF-8");
XMLWriter xmlWriter = new XMLWriter(out, format);
xmlWriter.write(docXML);
In the generated xml file, all the apostrophies(') are not readable....Any
clues?

The trick is to use the XMLWriter and use an OutputFormat object to set
the encoding.
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat();
format.setEncoding(...)
XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(format, new FileWriter("foo.xml"));
writer.write(someDoc);
