RE: [castor-user] [XML] - Umlaut characters not encoded

[Jay Goldman]

 
I don't think so - you said to encode the document in 'utf-8', which is 
perfectly capable of representing the � as as a 2 byte character - which will 
be rendered by a utf-8 capable editor as �.
You didn't say how you were looking at your 'output document' - i.e., if you 
use an program that assumes (or figures out) the document is utf-8 then it will 
look fine while a program limited to 8bit characters would show 2 characters 
instead of 1

So I don't think there is no reason for the marshaller to encode it as an 
entity (&uuml;) - as opposed to a string with, e.g., a < which must be 
represented using its entity(&lt;) otherwise the xml would not be well formed.

Subject: [castor-user] [XML] - Umlaut characters not encoded

Hello,

I'm getting information from a database and spitting it out into a file.
I'm creating a Marshaller object, setting the encoding, and not marshalling as 
a document.  Like this:

        FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);
        Marshaller m = new Marshaller(fw);
        m.setEncoding("UTF-8");
        m.setMarshalAsDocument(false);

      The "item" object below is an instance of a class that is 
Castor-generated from an XML Schema. Inside a loop, I do this:

                item.assemble();
                m.marshal(item);

      An example of data inside the "item" object is the value:

          Engranaje de Cig�e�al

      And this is put into "item" like this:

          item.setData("Engranaje de Cig�e�al");

But in my output document it looks like this:

<Item>Engranaje de Cig�e�al</Item>

But I don't know how to encode those special characters.  Shouldn't that "�"
be a "&uuml;"?

I am probably missing something, I appreciate any help you can offer.
