Re: XMLParser error with unicode characters in XML file.
Manoj, For the XML declaration, the encoding attribute value is specified by the IANA values. The uppercase value of 'utf-8' is the prefered form of the character set. This is the first time I have seen the need for choosing the preferred value, but I will make a note of it for my stylesheets. You can find a list of character set values online (below).

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 ThanksManoj-Forwarded by Manoj Nair/LA/SPE on 07/07/2004 06:08PM -To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: 07/07/2004 11:01AMSubject: RE: XMLParser error with unicode characters in XML file.ThanksVinuta!Thatworkedfine.IhavetestedwithSpanish,German,Italian,FrenchandPortuguese.IamstilltotestJapanese(whichmightbeapaininneck)...Willkeepyouposted...Thanksagaintoallwhoreplied..ManojVinutaNagaraddi[EMAIL PROTECTED]To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]muscle.comcc:Subject:RE:XMLParsererrorwithunicodecharactersinXML07/06/200402:31file.PMPleaserespondtofop-userIhadasimilarproblem.Iamwritingtoafileusingthefollowingcode:FileoutputDir=newFile(outputPath);outputDir.mkdir();StringfoFile=outputPath+"/image.fo";log.debug("Writingtofile"+foFile);FileOutputStreamfileoutstream=newFileOutputStream(foFile);Writerwriter=newOutputStreamWriter(fileoutstream,"utf8");writer.write(foDoc.toString().trim());writer.close();Theimportantpartofthecodeiswritingtothefileusingutf8encoding.VinutaNagaraddi-OriginalMessage-From:[EMAIL PROTECTED][mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent:Tuesday,July06,20045:28PMTo:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Cc:fop-dev@xml.apache.orgSubject:XMLParsererrorwithunicodecharactersinXMLfile.IamgettingaXMLparsingerrorfromweblogic.apache.xerceswhenIparseaXMLdocumentwhichcontainsaccentedcharacters.ThisiswhatIamdoing1)Somedatabasecolumnshaveaccenteddataforspanish,japaneseetclanguageslikeNúmerodeidentificação:andnúmerodeidentificación.2)IamreadingthisdataandcreatingaXMLfileusingsomeprocessingandthenwritingthefileonthediscusingweblogic.xml.stream.XMLOutputStreamflush()method.3)ThenIamusingFOPtorenderthisXMLinPDF.Intherenderingprocesstheweblogic.apache.xerces.XMLparsergetscalledtoparsetheXML.Heretheparserthrowsaorg.xml.sax.SAXParserException(AninvalidXMLcharacter(Unicode:0xfa)wasfoundintheelementcontentofthedocument).IwasundertheimpressionthatXMLParsershouldtakecareoftheaccentedcharacters.WhenIopentheXMLfilewhichIcreatedinXMLSPYIsee"box"characterslike"clientendeidentificaci".Pleaseletmeknowhowshouldihandlemycodehere.ThanksManojThanks-Tounsubscribe,e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Foradditionalcommands,e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: XMLParser error with unicode characters in XML file.
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.. Manoj Vinuta Nagaraddi [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] muscle.com cc: Subject: RE: XMLParser error with unicode characters in XML 07/06/2004 02:31 file. PM Please respond to fop-user 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. Vinuta Nagaraddi -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 5:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: fop-dev@xml.apache.org Subject: XMLParser error with unicode characters in XML file. 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 Nmero de identificao: and nmero de identificacin. 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 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
