That information is not exposed via the DOM. You would have
to subclass the DOMParser (or SAXParser) to get that info in
the xmlDecl method of the internal interfaces (which the
parser class implements).
In Xerces 1.x, you'll have to use the StringPool but that's
not very hard. For example:
public void xmlDecl(int versionIndex, int encodingIndex,
int standaloneIndex) throws Exception {
super.xmlDecl(versionIndex, encodingIndex, standaloneIndex);
String encoding = fStringPool.toString(encodingIndex);
}
In Xerces2, you actually have two choices: 1) the method
startDocument gives you the name of the auto-detected
encoding, and 2) the method xmlDecl gives you the encoding
specified in the XMLDecl at the beginning of the document.
In the new version, you don't have to use a StringPool
because the String objects are passed directly.
