Character encoding

[Nuno Leong]

 Hi all,   I'm having some trouble with character encoding on cocoon. Basically, i'm using Jboss-Net to access webservices via SOAP. The Soap Response has the encoding correct but the presentation (with cocoon) is showing some characters all garbled.   Here's a simple method i've used to test this:     public String teste() {         return "á : à : ã : â : é : í : ó : õ : ú : Á : À : à : É : Í : Ó : Õ : Ô : Ú : ç : Ç";     These are the special characters i'm having trouble with. The SOAP encoding is UTF-8, according to the Jboss-Net log.   I've set up a small match on the sitemap to serialize the response to HTML:   <map:match pattern="soap.html">         <map:generate type="serverpages" src=""/>         <map:serialize type="html"/>       </map:match>     teste.xsp has the SOAP call:   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsp:page   language="java"   xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp"   xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0"   xmlns:xscript="http://apache.org/xsp/xscript/1.0"   xmlns:soap="http://apache.org/xsp/soap/3.0"   xmlns:xsp-session="http://apache.org/xsp/session/2.0"   >     <page>       <soap:call url=""http://192.168.0.2:8080/jboss-net/services/Teste">http://192.168.0.2:8080/jboss-net/services/Teste">         <ns1:teste xmlns:ns1="urn:Teste">         </ns1:teste>       </soap:call>         </page> </xsp:page>     The output on the browser is showing these strange characters: á : à : ã : â : é : í : ó : õ : ú : Á : À : Ã : É : Í : Ó : Õ : Ô : Ú : ç : Ç      and the Source shows: <page xmlns:xsp="http://apache.org/xsp" xmlns:xsp-session="http://apache.org/xsp/session/2.0" xmlns:xscript="http://apache.org/xsp/xscript/1.0" xmlns:soap="http://apache.org/xsp/soap/3.0" xmlns:xsp-request="http://apache.org/xsp/request/2.0">          <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"         xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">  <soapenv:Body>   <ns1:testeResponse soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns1="urn:Teste">    <testeReturn xsi:type="xsd:string">&Atilde;&iexcl; : &Atilde;&nbsp; : &Atilde;&pound; : &Atilde;&cent; : &Atilde;&copy; : &Atilde;&shy; : &Atilde;&sup3; : &Atilde;&micro; : &Atilde;&ordm; : &Atilde;&#129; : &Atilde;&#128; : &Atilde;&#131; : &Atilde;&#137; : &Atilde;&#141; : &Atilde;&#147; : &Atilde;&#149; : &Atilde;&#148; : &Atilde;&#154; : &Atilde;&sect; : &Atilde;&#135;</testeReturn>   </ns1:testeResponse>  </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope>         </page>     I'm not sure why this is happening, but i guess it has something to do with character encoding that cocoon is applying to the SOAP response. I've tested the webservice with a small VB.Net console application, and the output is correct, so the problem is definitely with cocoon.   Any thoughts on this?   Thanks in advance. -- Nuno Leong Práxia SI
