Re: [xsl] Xalan Encoding Problems

---

First of all I want to thank the community with their response to my question. Unfortunately, I still have the same problem.

Jorg:

I copied your sample code and placed them in new XML and XSL files. I ran the latest version of Xalan and got the following result

xalan -in test.xml -xsl test.xsl -out test.out

SystemId Unknown; Line 0; Column 0; XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerE
xception): org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The encoding "iso-8859-1" is not supported.

No output file was created. I also checked the open bugs list of Xalan and came across the following bug which I am not sure is related

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1639

Hi Raul,

we use Xalan in complete production-process. Because of umlauts in German
language äöü or the letter ß we often use ISO-8859-1 and we never had any
problems. I can only assume that the file, which you want to transform,
isn't correctly encoded. Because of your mail I tested the following:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<test>äö©ü©</test>

XSL

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="test">
        <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
äö©ü©

You can try it yourself. It will work! It's not a Xalan problem.

Joerg
