Re: Xalan C on 390: EBCIDIC woes

[David_N_Bertoni]

If you want a version of Xalan that can be built on OS/390, you'll need to
get the latest source code from the CVS repository.  See:

   http:xml.apache.org/cvs.html

I did the port in conjunction with an IBM porting team, so it should work
fine.  Please post again if you encounter any problems.

I have just completed building Xalan C++ on OS/390.   In testing it with
testXSLT, I get an error message, partially in ASCII and partically in
EBCIDIC that says,

XSL Warning: Fatal Error at (file , line , column)
An exception occured! Type:XMLPlatformException, Message:Could not
determine
base pathname of the file  <--- in ASCII
XSL Warning: Error parsing foo.xsl
Unhandled Exception

We did change the headers to say:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="EBCIDIC"?>

My guess is that there is some hard-coded ASCII dependencies somewhere in
Xalan.     Any thoughts on this"?
