Thats the correct behaviour. Your servlet container may choose to inspect the POST data but there is no requirement for it to, thats up to you to implement a filter as mentioned earlier. What if your XML was malformed, what do you think it should do? The content could be anything for all it cares. What would your processor do if the header of the XML said the encoding was 8859-1, but the actual encoding was UCS-2? You wouldn't even be able to read the header reliably, you would have to perform a series of rereads to get the right encoding. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
