[jdom-interest] Use ISO instead of UTF-8 for caractere encodi ng

[Magnus Pettersson]

I had some problems with ISO-8859-1 and solved it like this, maybe it can
help you ...

I had a string that I sent to a servlet, the string was my XML-document with
encoding='iso-8859-1'.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>
<xml-doc />

In the servlet I converted the string to preserve the special characters
like this:

String xmlString = new
String(req.getParameter("xml_str").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");

(Where "xml_str" contains the string that was received by the servlet.)

In other words: "Read the string with encoding ISO-8859-1  and create a new
string with encoding UTF-8."
In this way a correct translation is made. But yes, the result is in UTF-8
... but again, why not always use UTF-8 and make some translations when
needed ...

	Did anyone ever respond to this problem?  We are also having
the same problem.  Specifying UTF-16 in the document doesn't seem
to help since XMLOutputter seems to be writing out UTF-8 every time.
The second parse still blows up.
