Can not process special chars in WS response

Question

Hello.
We are calling a .NET web service with Workshop 8.1.2. With the .NET WSDL, we
created a WS control and test web app to call the remote WS.
It works fine when normal caracters are in the response but when we receive special
caracters like spanish accents (á,í or ñ), the call fails with a Code:sun.io.MalformedInputException
as shown in the attached log.
The remote WS is working in production with no problems when its called from C,
.NET, or standard Java. But not through Workshop.
Any ideas of what is going on?
Thank you
Ricardo

special chars (as German umlauts) are not read properly from input
stream into string. Any ideas how to solve the problem?I guess the encoding used by the process doesn't correspond to your defaut encoding.
If you know what encoding the process uses, then you can specify it in the InputStreamReader constructor, e.g.:InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8");
