How to use another encoding with XalanC instead of UTF-8

[Illarramendi Amilibia, Aitor]

Hello eveybody:

 

    I'm newbie on Xerces-C and Xalan-C developing.

 

    I'm just doing a simple application, like SimpleTransform sample from Xalan's samples.

 

        The code is merely like that:

 

            XalanTransformer::initialize();
            XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();

 

            const char* inFile = "foo.xml"; // With xsl stylesheet included inside

            const char* outFile = "output.html";

 

            XalanTransformer transformer;

 

            int result = transformer.transform(inFile,outFile);   

 

            XalanTransformer::terminate();
            XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();

 

    I try to use XalanTransformer object to transform a XML with XSL stylesheet to a HTML output.

   

    XML and XSL files have ISO-8859-1 encoding, and have special symbols like: �, �, etc.

 

    When I transform this XML with the XSL via Xalan-C and Xerces-C, I achieve an .html file, well formed, but with all this symbols corrupted like º instead of �, etc.

 

    When I see the encoding of the resultant output file I can see that the encoding passed to the file, I supose that it's done by Xalan or Xerces, is UTF-8.

 

    Yet, I don't use ICU, if I install ICU and rebuild Xalan (may I rebuild Xerces-C too? If so, how?), it would work?

 

    I have to use some other XalanC classes?

 

    Please help a newbie.

 

Thanks for advance.
