Dear People, I had to upgrade the JAXP on Tomcat from the bundled version, 1.0, to 1.1. Everything works fine except that now I cannot use international characters like "ã" or "ú" on the web.xml files. When I use those characters I get an exception: -- start of exception output -- ERROR reading D:\java\gssi\cadastro\server\WEB-INF\web.xml At org.apache.crimson.parser/P-076 Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing? ERROR reading d:\java\gssi\cadastro\server\WEB-INF\web.xml org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: org.apache.crimson.parser/P-076 Malformed UTF-8 char -- is an XML encoding declaration missing? at org.apache.crimson.parser.InputEntity.fatal(InputEntity.java:1038) at org.apache.crimson.parser.InputEntity.fillbuf(InputEntity.java:1010) at org.apache.crimson.parser.InputEntity.peek(InputEntity.java:841) at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.peek(Parser2.java:2927) at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.maybeXmlDecl(Parser2.java:999) [ etc. ] -- end of exception output -- Does anyone have an idea as to how to solve this problem?
