Hallo Peter,
I have just done a very ugly quick fix by rebuilding
Axis with changed encoding constants in the below
mentionend classes and it worked correctly.
I am quite new to Axis therefore I don't know how a
more configurable solution would look like. I guess
the character encoding could be a configurable
property in the MessageContext.
If somebody could advise me on where to put such a
character encoding property I'd be ready to post a
patch.
I am also aware of the fact that ISO-8859-1 is included
in UTF-8 but I still think it would be a nice feature
to have the character encoding configurable.
(Maybe it is already I just did not find out yet how
to do it ;-)
Christof

Subject: Re: Character Encoding other than UTF-8 with SwA
Hi Christof, I've exactly the same problem because we've to send soap messages with iso-8859-1 encoding and default is utf-8. I was wondering too why this is not possible in a easy way. Did you get any ideas how to solve it? Until now I've no ideas.
Thanks and regards Peter
