Re: Axis 1.0 throws an exception while providing WSDL

[Steve Barham]

Do you have an XML encoding declaration at the top of your WSDL?

eg.  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Chances are that you are missing an encoding declaration (so the parser
defaults to UTF-8 encoding), and are using a non-UTF-8 encoding (eg.
ISO-8859-*).

UTF-8 uses between 1 and 4 bytes to encode a character, and uses the high
order bit of the first byte to indicate multibyte characters. So if your
actual encoding is a single byte per character, and uses characters beyond
127, then you will run into this problem.

What editor and environment did you use to produce the WSDL?
