I have a Java program that is writing information from a database to an XML
file. I create a DOM document, add an element, and set the value with:
Element id=parent.createElement("EventRuleInputDefinition");
...
id.setAttribute("Value", getVal());
Later, I then go to write the Document with:
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
...
TransformerFactory transformerFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
...
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty (OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
// Puts each stanza on a new line
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(node); // node is the document
root.
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
transformer.transform(source, result);
The XML file is properly generated with the header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
But the element is written with an actual umlaut character which when read back
in generates the error:
[Fatal Error] :564:103: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.
We're using Xerces 2.8.1 (don't laugh, I know it's a bit old). Could this be
an issue in Xerces, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.
