RE: change soap messages xml encoding to iso-8859-1

[Rick Kellogg]

The WS-I Basic profile specifically states that encoding must be either UTF-8 or UTF-16.  Quoted:   4.1.11 Acceptable SOAP Character Encodings The Profile requires all XML processors are required support the "UTF-8" and "UTF-16" character encodings, in order to aid interoperability. As a consequence of this, in conjunction with SOAP 1.1's requirement to use the text/xml media type (which has a default character encoding of "us-ascii"), the charset parameter must always be present on the SOAP envelope's media type. A further consequence of this is that the encoding pseudo-attribute of XML declaration within the message is always ignored, in accordance with the requirements of both XML 1.0 and RFC3023, "XML Media Types". R1012 A MESSAGE MUST be serialized as either UTF-8 or UTF-16. R1018 The media type of a MESSAGE's envelope MUST indicate the correct character encoding, using the charset parameter. C When SOAP is used with the HTTP binding, the media type is carried in the Content-Type HTTP header field.   As a result, I would highly suggest you change the encoding to support this requirement or you will loose compatibility with other SOAP implementation.   Rick   From: Enrique Rodríguez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 3:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: change soap messages xml encoding to iso-8859-1   I downloaded de CVS source code and i find this package   org.apache.axis.components.encoding;   I find that there is two classes for encoding to utf-8 and to utf-16...   What should i do to create one to encode in ISO-8859-1??         Is posible to change the xml-encoding of the soap message genreates by axis??   I think this is the problem because the messages have this appearance.
