Hi,

we are currently trying to upgrade from cocoon 1.8.2 to C2 and have run into 
encoding problems that we have tracked down to xerces. We were using the 
default xerces instal for c1.8 which I believe was 1.2.3 and have upgraded to 
the default for C2 which I believe is 2.0.x.

Our problem is that our xml content is MacRoman encoded (yes we do know its a 
bad idea, no we can't fix it), xerces 1.2.3 parsed the properly declared 
macRoman no problems, the current version doesn't recognise it. So I have been 
doing my research and it seems to be the case that at around build 1.4.1 the 
encoding handling was changed to use the IANA encoding sets.

I am getting the impression that xerces 1.x supported all the IANA encodings 
and also allowed you to use the java encoding names but that xerces 2.0.x 
allows only a specified subset of IANA and does not allow the direct use of 
java encoding names is this correct? Does this mean our only option is to use 
xerces 1.x or XML4C?

thanks in advance
Jo
