Encoding XML in ISO-8859-1 from a unicode system

Hello
I want to generate an XML with an encoding ISO-8859-1. I'm on a unicode platform.
I've done the following program :
It works well with the line 'encoding UTF-16.
With the line encoding 'encoding ISO ...', I have special characters in the sting xml_string.
NB : The program works correctly on a non-unicode platform.
Can you help me ?
Thank you

How to get ISO-8859 characters from DOM ?

Hi,
I have problems to get the ISO-8859 characters from the DOM. I parse a XML file and read the values from the DOM. All "umlauts" are scrambled.
The details:
The first line of the XML file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
It contains lines like:
<tag>Dpfel</tag>
I perform the following steps:
I'm parsing the XML file ...
xmlparser.parse( parser, full_fname_xml );
... get the document ...
doc := xmlparser.getDocument( parser );
... and read the value from the TEXT_NODE:
nodevalue := xmlparser.getNodeValue( node );
And here is the problem: nodevalue does
not contain 'Dpfel' but '?pfel'.
Its not a problem of the database. Explizit INSERTs with "umlauts" e.g. are working fine.
This problem occurs with the XML Parser for PLSQL 1.0.0.1.0 on NT.
[Pls do not recommend to use the newer version. I did a test with the newer version and know it works there.]
My questions relates only to this older version:
Will it never work with this version
or what am I doing wrong ?
Any hints welcome !
Tnx
Franz

Tnx for the quick answer.
Sorry, indeed I can not use the newer
version in the moment.
So I urgently need a solution or any
workaround for this version.

Any idea ?

I got an answer from the developer.
Pasted here.
I think the default encoding is set back to ISO8859 after customer download the dictionary.
Here is the reason: after 7.5.3, SPA 50x will parse the trkLocaleName in dictionary, for French it will set the phone’s default encoding to iso8859-1 since it is good to French.
French
=================================
•1. If the customer want to use UTF-8 after xml downloading, please modify the trkLocaleName in the French dictionary xml as following:
croatian
It is a workaround, but it's strange why French user will use UTF8. Thanks.
•2. Another way is that user can manually set the default encoding value to UTF-8 after xml downloading.

Encoding autodetection chooses ISO-8859-5 instead of UTF-8

A certain site producing HTML in UTF-8 without meta tags. The Firefox detects the encoding as ISO-8859-5, an absolutely dead and useless 'standard'. How to exclude it from the autodetection and maki it proper unicode?

It's a strange guess, if it's a guess. Are you sure the server isn't sending a header specifying that encoding? To view the content-type header, you can use an add-on (or if it's not a secure page, an external proxy):
* Live HTTP Headers extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/
* Firebug extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/
* Fiddler debugging proxy: http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/

Any Other "standard encoding character Like ISO 8859-1 "

hi all
Can any body suggest some standard sncoding character set like
ISO-8859-1 .
Its giving some problem.
Its not replacing "Space" with %20.
Thanks

see what i am doing here is first getting the default URL and then appended some parameter like msgtxt="BAL SO000IN" with the URL.
to encode this "space" i am using
EncodingUtil.formUrlEncode(nameValuePairs,Constants.ISO_8859_1);
But the the Http not supporting this type of charcter encode formar
like ISO 8859_1

Encoding UTF-8; ISO 8859-1

Hello,
It`s a big problem for me, but i think just simple for You.
I get a String, which i want to write into a file with ISO-88591-;
I don`t know with which encoding it was created;
I know a String in Java is alway in unicode; is this unicode always the same, no matter of which encoding the former byte-stream was ??
How can I find out the former encoding ??
Thank You very much for your answer...

As you said, String are Unicode in Java. Period. You can not know the encoding of the byte stream that was used to create it or will be used to store it...
You problem lies here : "I get a String". Where is it coming from? Was it well created (ie was the right encoding specified when creating the String) ?

How to set the Xml Encoding ISO-8859-1 to Transformer or DOMSource

I have a xml string and it already contains an xml declaration with encoding="ISO-8859-1". (In my real product, since some of the element/attribute value contains a Spanish character, I need to use this encoding instead of UTF-8.) Also, in my program, I need to add more attributes or manipulate the xml string dynamically, so I create a DOM Document object for that. And, then, I use Transformer to convert this Document to a stream.
My problme is: Firstly, once converted through the Transformer, the xml encoding changed to default UTF-8, Secondly, I wanted to check whether the DOM Document created with the xml string maintains the Xml Encoding of ISO-8859-1 or not. So, I called Document.getXmlEncoding(), but it is throwing a runtime error - unknown method.
Is there any way I can maintain the original Xml Encoding of ISO-8859-1 when I use either the DOMSource or Transformer? I am using JDK1.5.0-12.
Following is my sample program you can use.
I would appreciate any help, because so far, I cannot find any answer to this using the JDK documentation at all.
Thanks,

Thanks DrClap for your answer. With your information, I rewrote the sample program as in the following, and it works well now as I intended! About the UTF-8 and Spanish charaters, I think you are right. It looks like there can be many factors involved on this subject though - for example, the real character sets used to create an xml document, and the xml encoding information declared will matter. The special character I had a trouble was u00F3, and somehow, I found out that Sax Parser or even Document Builder parser does not like this character when encoding is set to "UTF-8" in the Xml document. My sample program below may not be a perfect example, but if you replaces ISO-8859-1 with UTF-8, and not setting the encoding property to the transfermer, you may notice that the special character in my example is broken in Test1 and Test2. In my sample, I decided to use ByteArrayInputStream instead of StringBufferInpuptStream because the documentation says StringBufferInputStream may have a problem with converting characters into bytes.
Thanks again for your help!

I read files from the web, but there is a XML tag
with the encoding attribute in the RSS file.If you are quite sure that you have an encoding attribute set to ISO-8859-1 then I expect that your RSS file has non-ISO-8859-1 character though I thought all bytes -128 to 127 were valid ISO-8859-1 characters!
Many years ago I had a problem with an XML file with invalid characters. I wrote a simple filter (using FilterInputStream) that made sure that all the byes it processed were ASCII. My problem turned out to be characters with value zero which the Microsoft XML parser failed to process. It put the parser in an infinite loop!
In the filter, as each byte is read you could write out the Hex value. That way you should be able to find the offending character(s).

How to set codepage iso-8859-1 in output XML?

Dear experts,
I want to create an XML file with codepage "iso-8859-1" from PI 7.11.
I have already tried to put the filetype to TEXT and ISO-8859-1 in the File Encoding field of my receiving CC (using the FTP adapter), but I still get an xml in codepage UTF-8.
It should also be possible to realise this via an XSL mapping, but where do I have to do this? Or is there any other way to use codepage ISO-8859-1?
Thanks in advance,
William

Hi
You can do this change at Visual Administrator level. There are some parameters you need to edit and add IS0-8859, so that Integration engine will set for that encode.
So, you can ask the Basis guys to perform this.
This would certainly works out for you.

How to determine codepage ISO-8859-1 for my output XML?

Hi William,
Write a simple XSLT mapping to change the value of the attribute "encoding" to "ISO-8859-1" in the output XML of message mapping . Include this XSLT map as the second mapping step in your interface mapping.
First step in your interface mapping will be your already existing message mapping.
Here is the XSL code !
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method='xml' encoding='ISO-8859-1' />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="*" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope you can solve now ...if not pls let us know !
cheers,

Codepage coverting error utf-8 from System codepage to iso-8859-1 (PI 7.1)

Hello Experts,
In our Prcess, we receive an Idoc from an IS-U system and then we send this Idoc with some Header-Information via http-Adapter to a Seeburger System.
In the outbound communication Channel we have a XI Payload manipulation with xml-Code iso-8859-1.
We get the Error: Codepage coverting error utf-8 from System codepage to iso-8859-1, and only for this Idoc, where othe similar Idocs runs correctly.
Is it possible, that the Idoc contains non-utf-8 chars so the error occurs?
PS: another XI in our landscape uses a http-Channel with the same configuration in a similar process, an it work, so guess the Problem is not in the communication channel.
thanks,
best regards

> Is it possible, that the Idoc contains non-utf-8 chars so the error occurs?
A would rather think, that there could be any non-iso-8859-1 character be in the IDoc. For example an czech or polish character.

File adapter ISO-8859-1 encoding problems in XI 3.0

We are using the XI 3.0 file adapter and are experiencing some XML encoding troubles.
A SAP R/3 system is delivering an IDoc outbound. XI picks up the IDoc and converts it to an external defined .xml file. The .xml file is send to a connected ftp-server. At the remote FTP server the file is generating an error, as it is expected to arrive in ISO-8859-1 encoding. The Transfer Mode is set to Binary, File Type Text, and Encoding ISO-8859-1.
The .xml file is encoded correctly in ISO-8859-1, but the problem is that the XML encoding declaration has the wrong value 'UTF-8'.
Does anybody know of a work around, to change the encoding declaration to ISO-8859-1 in the message mapping program?

An example of the XSL code might be as follow:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method='xml' encoding='ISO-8859-1' />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy-of select="*" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Creating XML-files in ABAP with format ISO-8859-1 after the use of unicode

Hello,
We have a problem with XML-files created in z_abap-programma.
Before the use of unicode the XML-file was of the format: ISO-8859-1.
After the introducting of unicode the format is UTF-16.
In the abap-program we are using:
        CALL TRANSFORMATION xls-program
         SOURCE t_vbak = it_vbak
         RESULT XML xmlstring.
        CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
          EXPORTING
            text     = xmlstring
          IMPORTING
            buffer   = lx_xml_as_string.
        CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
          EXPORTING
            buffer        = lx_xml_as_string
          IMPORTING
            output_length = li_xml_size
          TABLES
            binary_tab    = ltb_xml_table.
        CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
          EXPORTING
            bin_filesize = li_xml_size
            filename     = lc_filename
            filetype     = 'BIN'
          CHANGING
            data_tab     = ltb_xml_table
          EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS       = 24.
Is it prossible to create the XML-file with the format ISO-8859-1 after the unicode, please can you explane how to solve this problem.
