nadir amra commented on AXISCPP-964:
------------------------------------
And yes another option is to have user specify path to iconv dll/shared library
- and if found, use that. Otherwise, revert to using encoding in config file,
and if not specified, try to obtain appropriate encoding for locale and finally
revert to a default.
> 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. Note
> that free() is
> // correctly used and should not be changed to delete().
> const char *buf = this->getHTTPHeaders ();
> utf8Buf = toUTF8((char *)buf, strlen(buf)+1);
> *m_pActiveChannel << utf8Buf;
> free(utf8Buf);
> utf8Buf = NULL;
> utf8Buf = toUTF8((char *)this->m_strBytesToSend.c_str(),
> this->m_strBytesToSend.length()+1);
> *m_pActiveChannel << utf8Buf;
> free(utf8Buf);
> utf8Buf = NULL;
> #endif
> This leads to clients trying to decode the response as UTF-8, and will have
> errors whenever the response contains non-ASCII characters (i.e., > 127).
> Axis Java, for example, will prduce this error upon decoding:
> "java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid byte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence."
> A simple workaround is to change SoapSerializer.cpp, line 379:
> from
> serialize( "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>", NULL);
> to
> serialize( "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>", NULL);
> The real fix, however, is to encode the response with UTF-8 for all platforms
> (not just OS/400).
