Thanks a bunch Brian! I'm in the process of modifying my script that creates
the import files to use ISO-8859-1!
Best regards,

characters from an external repository
Hi Sue,
This is the only way I've found to get many of my imports to work, and they
seem to work without a problem. When they get entered into the db, they're
UTF-8, as far as I can tell. Values show up correctly in the interface, and
are searchable.

Subject: [Dspace-tech] ItemImport.java failing due to extended ASCII characters
from an external repository
Hi,
I am in the process of importing content from an external repository,
using ItemImport.java, and it keeps failing because there is a LOT of metadata
that has extended ASCII characters like Comisiâon and Genáese. What is the
best way around this? If I change my xml header in the Dublin_core.xml file
from "encoding="utf-8"" to "encoding="ISO-8859-1"", it can successfully parse
and import the record, but I thought we were only supposed to use UTF8 in
DSpace. Is there any harm in regenerating all my import files and using
ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF8?
Thanks in advance,
Sue
