Hello,
I am having a problem with Xalan transforming a document containing Japanese characters. (An initial note: the problem does not occur on my Windows development machine, only on the Solaris test/production environments.)
The basic problem is that for any place I'm selecting XML node values to use within an xsl:attribute block, if the text is double-byte it is converted to the NCR representation instead of the actual characters. Under Windows, the "real" characters appear within the attribute tag. I'm positive the source XML is UTF-8 encoded, as I can output the value correctly within the same stylesheet as long as it is not output within an xsl:attribute tag.
Here's an XSL snippet--the basic idea is I'm creating a bunch of HTML fields and setting the "value" attribute to a selected XML element value:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="yes" method="html"/> .........
<xsl:template match="//root/row">
<tr>
THIS VALUE IS KANJI AND GETS OUPUT AS NCR <td width="400" class="label" height="18">
<input type="text" name="companyAffiliation" size="50">
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="companyAffiliation"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</td>
</tr> <tr>
USING A TEXTAREA WITHOUT XSL:ATTRIBUTE, IT OUTPUTS CORRECTLY <td width="400" class="label" height="18">
<textarea name="companyAffiliation2" rows="1" cols="50">
<xsl:value-of select="companyAffiliation"/>
</textarea>
</td>
</tr></xsl:template>
I'm using the latest version of Xerces/Xalan w/JDK 1.2.2. Once again, it works fine on Windows. Any ideas?
Thanks,
- patrick
