Uwe Schindler commented on XALANJ-2419:
---------------------------------------
One workaround for this is:
- Just specify output encoding to be UTF-16
- Instead of OutputStream write the XML to a standard java.io.Writer with
correct charset. Unfortunately this will print the wrong charset into the XML
header, but this may be fixed with some FilterWriter. I did not have that
issue, as we emit no XML header, so not sure how hard this is.
But this bug should really be fixed. It makes serializer.jar unuseable with any
far-east language! This also affects xerces.jar, which also uses serializer.jar
when serializing XML.

> Project: XalanJ2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Serialization
> Affects Versions: 2.7.1
> Reporter: Henri Sivonen
> Attachments: XALANJ-2419-fix.txt, XALANJ-2419-tests.txt
>
>
> org.apache.xml.serializer.ToStream contains the following code:
> else if (m_encodingInfo.isInEncoding(ch)) {
> // If the character is in the encoding, and
> // not in the normal ASCII range, we also
> // just leave it get added on to the clean characters
>
> }
> else {
> // This is a fallback plan, we should never get here
> // but if the character wasn't previously handled
> // (i.e. isn't in the encoding, etc.) then what
> // should we do? We choose to write out an entity
> writeOutCleanChars(chars, i, lastDirtyCharProcessed);
> writer.write("&#");
> writer.write(Integer.toString(ch));
> writer.write(';');
> lastDirtyCharProcessed = i;
> }
> This leads to the wrong (latter) if branch running for surrogates, because
> isInEncoding() for UTF-8 returns false for surrogates. It is always wrong
> (regardless of encoding) to escape a surrogate as an NCR.
> The practical effect of this bug is that any document with astral characters
> in it ends up in an ill-formed serialization and does not parse back using an
> XML parser.
