[jdom-interest] special characters breaking parse??

[Jason Hunter]

It works OK if you specify in the decl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

When files look ASCII, I believe the parser defaults to UTF-8 unless you
have an encoding to say differently.  See
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-guessing.

For the record, I saw the same error with DOMBuilder (why are you using
DOMBuilder?).  In SAXBuilder you get a better description:

org.jdom.JDOMException: Error on line 3: An invalid XML character
(Unicode: 0x84) was found in the element content of the document.
        at org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder.build(SAXBuilder.java:348)

BTW, make sure you outputter.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1") on output.
