Does it make more sense (and would it work) to instead just call
Document.asXML().getBytes("utf-8")? Logically that should work.Thanks - dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Thielen Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 9:26 AM To: 'Maarten Coene' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [dom4j-user] Asking again: setText() doesn't convert to utf-8 Hello; Just to confirm, if I do this then the Document.asXML() will return a string with the characters in utf-8? (Actually getting utf-8 as a string is a weird concept - it's more like you should query for something like byte [] Document.asXmlAsByteArray().) Anyways, will Document.asXML().getBytes() then give me a correct utf-8 byte array? I ask because it's weird that you set a maximum allowed character as utf-8 is pretty straightforward as to what is converted. Also, I can't find a XMLWriter.setMaximumAllowedCharacter() and in the dom4j javadoc index I can't find a setMaximumAllowedCharacter() for any class. ??? - thanks - dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maarten Coene Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 4:34 AM To: David Thielen Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [dom4j-user] Asking again: setText() doesn't convert to utf-8 Hi David, if you want to convert these characters greater than 0x7f, you'll have to create your xml like this: org.dom4j.Document document = [...] org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter writer = new org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter(); java.io.StringWriter strWriter = new java.io.StringWriter(); writer.setWriter(strWriter); writer.setMaximumAllowedCharacter(127); writer.write(document); String xml = strWriter.toString(); regards, Maarten David Thielen wrote: > Hi; > > I am creating a DOM using Document and Element.setText().
