RE: XMLParser error with unicode characters in XML file.

My boss just called me and informed me that on UNIX ( where we have our jars and where we run our application server) its getting an error saying "encoding error utf8". It worked on windows 2000 pro which I am using. Does the utf8 string needs to be different on unix?

Paging Vinuta ....

Thanks

Manoj

Thanks Vinuta !

That worked fine. I have tested with Spanish,German,Italian, French and
Portuguese. I am still to test Japanese ( which might be a pain in neck
)... Will keep you posted...

Thanks again to all who replied..

I had a similar problem.  I am writing to a file using the following code:

File outputDir = new File(outputPath);
outputDir.mkdir();

String foFile = outputPath + "/image.fo";
log.debug("Writing to file " + foFile);
FileOutputStream fileoutstream = new FileOutputStream(foFile);
Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(fileoutstream, "utf8");
writer.write(foDoc.toString().trim());
writer.close();

The important part of the code is writing to the file using utf8 encoding.

I am getting a XML parsing error from weblogic.apache.xerces when I parse a
XML
document which contains accented characters.

This is what I am doing
1) Some database columns have accented data for spanish,japanese etc
languages
like Número de identificação: and número de identificación.

2) I am reading this data and creating a XML file using some processing and
then writing the file on the disc using weblogic.xml.stream.XMLOutputStream
flush() method.

3) Then I am using FOP to render this XML in PDF. In the rendering process
the weblogic.apache.xerces.XMLparser gets called to parse the XML. Here the
parser throws a org.xml.sax.SAXParserException ( An invalid XML character
(Unicode: 0xfa) was found in the element content of the document).

I was under the impression that XMLParser should take care of the accented
characters. When I open the XML file which I created in XML SPY I see "box"
characters like "cliente  n� de identificaci��".

Please let me know how should i handle my code here.

Thanks
Manoj

Thanks
