http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19327 Character entities are escaped too aggressively ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-07 22:30 ------- I've just bounced a q. off to SOAPBuilders to see what they think. To date, Axis does what? UTF-8 only? So moving to UTF-8 and UTF-16 only is an improvement, and brings us in line with WS-I But if we add support for arbitrary encodings, then we complicate SOAP for everyone. Someone could write clients that post requests in, say, Sanskrit, have it all work on an Axis impl, and then complain when the service implementors moved to gSOAP. For the sake of interop, therefore, keeping the #of encodings we support constant and matching those everyone else does, would seem to be a good thing. -Steve (typing on a UK keyboard)
