When I create a Text element which contains characters which are not in the
basic 128 of the first code page org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer is
not converting them to valid UTF-8 escapes. What am I doing wrong?
I create Text nodes in the DOM by, for example:
Document doc;
JTextArea textPrompt;
Text newTextNode;
Element descElt;
...
newTextNode = doc.createTextNode(textPrompt.getText());
descElt.appendChild(newTextNode);
The code to serialize the DOM is:
private void saveXml(Document document)
{
// rename the existing layout file
new File(fileName).renameTo(new File(fileName + "~"));
// write the document out
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(document);
format.setIndenting(true);
format.setLineWidth(0);
format.setPreserveSpace(true);
try {
XMLSerializer serializer;
serializer = new XMLSerializer (
new FileWriter(fileName),
format);
serializer.asDOMSerializer();
serializer.serialize(document);
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
...
}
}
If I enter a character such as e' (e with acute accent) into the JTextArea
and I look at the XML file using a non-UTF-8-aware editor I see that the e'
has been inserted as a single byte, not as the 2 character UTF-8 escaped
value. If I subsequently try to read the XML file using XERCES it blows up
because of the invalid escape sequence.
How do I get a valid serialization of this DOM into XML using UTF-8?
