Hi Perry, Using the XML api on utf8 encoded xml files that include some characters over 7f can result in the udt session crashing out. It seems quite random. Using the XML DOM api on xml files that have characters over 7f, regardless of encoding can result in the extraction of text nodes returning null.
This is on udt on linux, it may be different on other platforms, tho there are a number of people on this list who have experienced xml api problems when dealing with utf-8. Apparently IBM may be re-doing there whole xml API because it does have some flaws. rgds Symeon.
