Hi Perry, Using the XML api on utf8 encoded xml files that include some
characters over 7f can result in the udt session crashing out. It seems
quite random.
Using the XML DOM api on xml files that have characters over 7f,
regardless
of encoding can result in the extraction of text nodes returning null.

This is on udt on linux, it may be different on other platforms, tho
there
are a number of people on this list who have experienced xml api
problems
when dealing with utf-8. Apparently IBM may be re-doing there whole xml
API
because it does have some flaws.

What are the "spurious problems" when using utf-8 encoding?

Hi Perry,

If you are talking the EXT file then the things to be careful of are the
starting point in the xml tree as defined by the start property and
where to
place the , to denote MV and SV extraction.

If you are talking the DOM then it may be good to have a look at the xml
in
some sort of DOM viewer first as this will show how to traverse nodes,
get
into text nodes etc, basically when you navigate the dom you need to
tell it
what type of node as well as if it is parent, child,sibling etc.

If you have some examples i am sure we can all take a look and help out.

Also please be aware of some of the spurious problems if you have utf-8
character encoding.
