Oxygen XML Forum

Hello,
I try to convert xml to rtf and have problems converting unicode characters to ansi (rtf allows only ansi chars).
For that purpose I have to convert any char above codepoint 255 into its numeric value (string-to-codepoints) and write it (under the rules of rtf) into my target document.

The problem is, when I use Saxon8B out of Oxygen everything works fine, but if I call the same template out of my Java-Application also using Saxon8B, umlauts are not translated correct.

E.g.
With Saxon out of Oxygen Ä remains "Ä" (Decimal code points 196)
With Saxon out of my Application Ä becomes "Ä" (Decimal code points 195 8222)

Are there any 'special' settings or parameters set for the saxon engine in oxygen that could be accountable for that differences?

Any idea? I would be thankful for any suggestion.

Ha!
I fixed the problem today.

The problem was the way I read the xml.
When I use StreamSource to read the xmlFile I get the mentioned problem.
--> Source source = new StreamSource(xmlFile);

The Solution was to use a SAXSource to read the xml
--> Source source = new SaxSource(xmlFile);

So long,

That was an encoding problem. When you use StreamSource you will get the default platform encoding. When you use SaxSource the encoding will be detected from the file.

Ah yes, I kind of thought that also I expected that the encoding would be the one I safed the file with... never mind. It works!

Thanks for the info George!
