[jdom-interest] SAXBuilder on OS/390

[Kevin Baynes]

In reply to my own post:
I checked the encoding of the file on the mainframe and it is Cp1047, which
is the EBCDIC code page.

Will Xerces or JDOM.SAXBuilder have any problems if I feed it a file of this
encoding? Do I have to translate the file some way?
