Do your XML documents specify the encoding in the XML declaration? If
not, there's no way to distinguish between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-X without
the multiple parses - and the multiple parse approach doesn't even come
close to guaranteeing that you've ended up with the correct encoding
(since the different flavors of ISO-8859-X reuse the same byte values
for different characters). If the documents *do* give the encoding in
the XML declaration, XMLBeans should be reading it and interpreting the
document correctly.

Hi Lawrence,
I am not sure how to detect the XML charsets, besides just looping through the list of supported encodings
and trying to parse succesfully. This is is not elegant but it worked for me.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers . Christophe

Have a look at the code in:
$XMLBEANS/src/common/org/apache/xmlbeans/impl/common/EncodingMap.java
and the code that calls it in
$XMLBEANS/src/store/org/apache/xmlbeans/impl/store/Saver.java
around line 1760 onwards
EncodingMap.java contains all the supported encodings in the
static initializer at line 70.

Lawrence

Thanks! That helps. I checked the API doc for
setCharterEncoding but
couldn’t find The supported encoding types. In other words which
encodings are allowed in the Function
setCharacterEncoding("encoding"); ?

Hi Christophe
It's very unlikely that the characters are the problem -
all Unicode
characters are allowed in XML - see e.g.
http://www.xml.com/axml/testaxml.htm (section 2.2) and hence in
XmlBeans.
What is more likely is that the characters are not encoded (as
bytes) in the way XmlBeans expects. By default XmlBeans assumes
UTF-8 encoding. Yours are probably ISO8859_1 or some such
thing. If
you want to play around with character encoding have a look at
XmlOptions.setCharacterEncoding().
Cheers,
Lawrence

Hi,
My application parses XML from many different sources.
(It's a RSS
reader/Podcast receiver).
Before I switched to XMLBeans I was using an xml parser
called nanoXMl
which didn't mind Some illegal characters especially when
wrapped in
CDATA.
Now XMLBeans stumbles over the illegal chars
below:(“) (Throws
exception).
