nadir amra commented on AXISCPP-964: ------------------------------------ The other option is to have user put character set in config file (i.e. 'ISO-8859-1'), unless it can be obtained from locale? > SOAP request/response not UTF-8 encoded (but claims to be) > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AXISCPP-964 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXISCPP-964 > Project: Axis-C++ > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SOAP > Affects Versions: current (nightly) > Environment: All platforms, except OS/400 > Reporter: Henrik Nordberg > > (See the end of this description for a one-liner that works around this > problem for most cases.) > SoapSerializer.cpp, line 379 says > serialize( "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>", NULL); > that is that the SOAP response is UTF-8 encoded. But this is only true for > OS/400 as can be seen in HTTPTransport.cpp, lines 311- > #ifndef __OS400__ > *m_pActiveChannel << this->getHTTPHeaders (); > *m_pActiveChannel << this->m_strBytesToSend.c_str (); > #else > // Ebcdic (OS/400) systems need to convert the data to UTF-8.
