Judith is correct, you should put this encoding in the <serializer>, but, if you use <xsp> or whatever, put it also in the transformer and generator.
Second thing, since you are German, so in the Euro zone, you may consider the ISO-8859-15 encoding, which is the same as the -1 encoding, but includes the Euro character. Third thing, I work with a Postgres database. In my connection pool, I included the charset also in my JDBC connection string jdbc:postgresql/......?charSet=ISO-8859-15 > Try specifying an encoding inside the serializer declaration in your > sitemap: > <map:serializer ...> > <encoding>ISO-8859-1</encoding> > </map:serializer> > > HTH Judith > > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: boessem [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Freitag, 7.
