Actually, I just found the answer I was looking for: I read in the XML off of a socket and into a character buffer and then into a MemBufInputSource object. I found the "setEncoding" method to that object, and added the line:
memBufIS->setEncoding ( XMLString::transcode( "iso-8859-1" ) ) ; Now, the foreign character in the generic xs:string field validates, but the other one fails. That's OK because it is validating against a pattern of [A-Z] Thanks for the assistance. Maybe this thread will help someone else. -----Original Message----- From: Alberto Massari [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2004 10:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Validation Problem with Foreign Characters If you get a UTFDataFormatException, you are using the UTF-8 transcoder, and not the iso-8859 one. Have you tried running the sample DOMPrint on the XML file? If it fails, you should attach a test XML to your mail so that we can reproduce the problem.
