Change encoding of input message sent by J2EE Adapter

Question

Hi all,
I get a input message with a wrong encoding (Sender SMTP Adapter). Within XML prolog, there's a declaration of UTF-8. Having a look at the message, it's ISO-8859-1 encoded. That mean's I've to do one of the following options:
a) change encoding declaration in XML prolog to the correct one: ISO-8859-1
b) reencode the entire message from ISO-8859-1 into UTF-8, so that the message encoding matches the XML prolog
I've found two possible solutions, but I don't know if they're working:
1. usage of XMLAnomyzerModule: reading the documentation, it seems to be that I cannot use that module in a sender adapter, right? If I'm wrong: what does the module do? Does it just exchange the encoding declaration in the prolog or does it reencode the message?
2. running that small XSLT mapping before my own mapping: would it change the encoding declaration from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 in the XML prolog?
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
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>

Hi Stefan,
thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it's not my application who's sending the wrong message and it's not possible to change it on sender side. I don't know why but it's like that
So it's exactly like you've mentioned: when using special characters where ISO-8859-1 codepage differs from UTF-8, we've a problem.
When I understand you correct there's a adapter module TextCodepageConversionBean which changes the encoding, right? Then I could use it to encode the inbound ISO-8859-1 message to UTF-8 (which is declaration in XML prolog).
Where can I find more information how to use it? Searching SDN I've just found one other thread where the same module is mentioned, but without further hints.
