Yes - no joy.

I use:
LMLDocumentHandler myDocumentHandler = new LMLDocumentHandler(this,url);
DocumentHandler documentHandler = myDocumentHandler;
parser.setDocumentHandler(documentHandler);
LMLErrorHandler myErrorHandler = new LMLErrorHandler();
....
try {
parser.parse(url.toString());
,..... ETC
so theres no issues with input. Admittedly this is the old API but as I
say - everything worked OK under jserv / jdk 1.1
Could it be something to do with the character sets that the JVM (jre)
understands? And if so how do I tell it about other char sets.

|I'm sure this is a very simple problem .... but what is the solution?
