Well, it seems the problem is solved and it wasn't a problem with the
parser, but a mixture of configuration problems and a possible bug in the
Internet Explorer 5.0 (well, so who's surprised? ; )). So, big sorry for
causing a "panic" if I did!!!!
Cheers, Britta

Subject: Re: UTF-8/Latin-1 problem
Are you saying that your document has an XML decl with the correct encoding
and the parser is not honoring the encoding? That sounds like a huge bug,
and I can't believe it would not have been caught in testing. If so, you
should file a bug in bugzilla and attach a sample document that reproduces
the problem.
If, on the other, you're saying your document is encoding in iso-8859-1,
but it there is no encoding in the XML decl, then you have a document that
is not well-formed. There is no way for the parser to "autodetect"
iso-8859-1. Indeed, it is required to assume utf-8 in the absence of an
explicit encoding.
By the way, this question is not appropriate for the general list. You
should subscribe to the Xerces-J and post your parer-related questions
there.

Please respond
to general
Hi,
I'm working on a project where xml's might have all sorts of encodings. The
parser deals with the UTF-8 stuff just fine, but when it gets a Latin-1
(iso-8859-1), it produces useless characters unless I set the encoding
explicitly.
Now I can't quite believe that the parser won't read the encoding from the
XML, so my question is, am I missing something? Is there a way to get the
parser to sort of "autodetect" an XML file's encoding?
I'm currently testing on the SAX2SAX sample in the Xalan-Java 2 download.
Thanks loads in advance,
Britta
