Hi Ken, I recall a couple of months ago that someone reported a situation exactly like this. I then verified that Xerces does indeed support UTF-16--if the document is written according to that encoding--and sent an example doc to the person reporting the bug. They then took another look on their end and found that something was wrong with their document.
So let me know if you need an example of a UTF-16 document that Xerces handles.

Hi, I am trying to use xml with an encoding of "UTF-16". Why doesn't xerces support "UTF-16" and I am getting the "UTF-16 is not supported" error. More over, why doesn't xerces have a mapping for "UTF-16" to Java's encoding? Below is the stack trace I get. Any explanation would help out a great deal. Also, the archives list not not working for xercesJ, for users?
