Problem inserting XML doc (character set)

Question

Hi all,
I'm having trouble trying to insert XML either "posting" it (xsql) or "putting" it
(OracleXML putXML).
The error that I get: "not supported
oracle-character-set-174".
The environment is:
Oracle 8i 8.1.5
(NLS_CHARACTERSET EL8MSWIN1253 for greek)
JDK 1.2.2
Apache Web Server 1.3.11
Apache JServ 1.1
XSQL v 0.9.9.1 and
XMLSQL, XML parser v2 that comes with it.
I had dropped all java classes and reloaded
them using oraclexmlsqlload batch file.
But still getting the same error.
The thing that is that I am
able to insert XML doc that was generated
with an authoring tool called W4F that extracts data from HTML pages and map them to
XML document, even with greek characters
in it. But when XML is generated using
an editor or the servlet like the following:
newschedule.xsql like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="latestschedules.xsl"?>
<page connection="dtv" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<xsql:insert-request date-format="DD'/'MM'/'YYYY" table="schedule_details_view"
transform="request-to-newschedule.xsl"/>
<xsql:query table="schedule"
tag-case="lower" max-rows="5" rowset-element="latestschedules"
row-element="schedule">
select *
from schedules
order by schedule_id desc
</xsql:query>
</page>
request-to-newschedule.xsl like
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xsl:version="1.0">
<xsl:for-each select="request/parameters">
<ROW>
<SCHEDULE_ID><xsl:value-of select="Schedule_id_field"/></SCHEDULE_ID>
<DESCRIPTION><xsl:value-of select="Description_field"/></DESCRIPTION>
<DETAILS>
<DETAILS_ITEM>
<STARTING_TIME><xsl:value-of select="Starting_Time_field_1"/></STARTING_TIME>
<DURATION><xsl:value-of select="Duration_field_1"/></DURATION>
</DETAILS_ITEM>
<DETAILS_ITEM>
<STARTING_TIME><xsl:value-of select="Starting_Time_field_2"/></STARTING_TIME>
<DURATION><xsl:value-of select="Duration_field_2"/></DURATION>
</DETAILS_ITEM>
<DETAILS_ITEM>
<STARTING_TIME><xsl:value-of select="Starting_Time_field_3"/></STARTING_TIME>
<DURATION><xsl:value-of select="Duration_field_3"/></DURATION>
</DETAILS_ITEM>
<DETAILS_ITEM>
<STARTING_TIME><xsl:value-of select="Starting_Time_field_4"/></STARTING_TIME>
<DURATION><xsl:value-of select="Duration_field_4"/></DURATION>
</DETAILS_ITEM>
<DETAILS_ITEM>
<STARTING_TIME><xsl:value-of select="Starting_Time_field_5"/></STARTING_TIME>
<DURATION><xsl:value-of select="Duration_field_5"/></DURATION>
</DETAILS_ITEM>
</DETAILS>
</ROW>
</xsl:for-each>
</ROWSET>
Hope that someone could help me on this ...
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
How about applying an XSL on the existing XML doc to create another XML doc to filter out the table column not found in the target db table, so that all the columns are matched and then use putXML to load?
Hope that helps.
