This problem is not specific to XXE. This looks like a Java problem on Linux. On my SuSE Linux 9.3, with Java 1.5.0_03: * With "export LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15", I get square boxes too. * With "export LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1", I get German Umlauts ?, ?. Note that using ISO-8859-1 does not prevent you from getting the Euro sign ? right: on screen, when printing, in the XML files you'll create, etc. Also note that when I use "export LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15", I get error messages from non-Java applications: "locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged". I have no such error messages with "export LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1".
