XSLTMediator doesn't handle text output correctly
-------------------------------------------------
Key: SYNAPSE-215
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNAPSE-215
Project: Synapse
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: NIGHTLY
Environment: Mac OS X
Reporter: Andreas Veithen
When the output of the XSL transformation is text rather than XML, XLSTMediator
uses ByteArrayOutputStream#toString to retrieve the generated content.
According to the Javadoc, toString transforms "bytes into characters according
to the platform's default character encoding". However, nothing guarantees that
the XSLT processor uses the same encoding when writing to the
ByteArrayOutputStream. Indeed, on my Mac OS X environment, the default platform
encoding is MacRoman, while Xalan chooses UTF-8 as output encoding. This causes
all non ASCII characters to be corrupted.
Also, XLSTMediator always tries to parse the output as XML and only falls back
to text when an error occurs. This strategy is not optimal and could lead to
unexpected results. XSLTMediator should switch between XML and text output by
determining the output method specified in the stylesheet. It should be
possible to achieve this by using Transformer#getOutputProperty.
