Roger,
I am unable to reproduce this. Can you post a complete schema? Looking at your output, the only thing that jumps out to me is that the problem is 83 C2 being inserted between each character. My guess is you are setting some property that changes how strings are encoded, but nothing jumps out at me as being able to cause this type of encoding behavior. Below is the schema I tried which does not reproduce this problem. <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:dfdl="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/dfdl-1.0/"; xmlns:tns="urn:a" xmlns:ex="http://example.com"; xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions"; targetNamespace="urn:a" > <xs:include schemaLocation="org/apache/daffodil/xsd/DFDLGeneralFormat.dfdl.xsd" /> <xs:annotation> <xs:appinfo source="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/";> <dfdl:format ref="tns:GeneralFormat"/> </xs:appinfo> </xs:annotation> <xs:element name="UTF-8"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="string" type="xs:string" dfdl:encoding="utf-8" dfdl:lengthKind="pattern" dfdl:lengthPattern=".*" /> <xs:element name="length" type="xs:integer" dfdl:inputValueCalc="{ fn:string-length(../string) }" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> ________________________________ From: Costello, Roger L. <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2019 2:38:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Strange behavior with dfdl:encoding Hello DFDL community, My input is a single UTF-8 string. Parsing the input generates the expected XML document, but unparsing the XML results in a totally different string. Below is a graphic showing the input, parsing results, and unparsing results. Under it are the actual hex bytes. Note how the bytes for the input are very different than the bytes for the unparse results. Why such differences between the input and the parse output? At the bottom is my DFDL schema. /Roger [cid:[email protected]] <xs:element name="UTF-8"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="string" type="xs:string" dfdl:encoding="utf-8" /> <xs:element name="length" type="xs:integer" dfdl:inputValueCalc="{ fn:string-length(../string) }" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element>
