http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27983 xalan-j 2.6.0 converts all characters in specified encoding to character references Summary: xalan-j 2.6.0 converts all characters in specified encoding to character references Product: XalanJ2 Version: CurrentCVS Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Xalan AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When using using xalan-j 2.6.0 with documents using the iso-8859-7 (greek) encoding, all characters encoded in the specified encoding are output as character references. The behaviour is exhibited even in the sample applications bundled with xalan. If, for example, we take the SimpleTransform application, change the bird.xml encoding to iso-8859-7, add an element with content in the specified encoding and specify the new target encoding in birds.xsl, the result comes in character references. This happens on both ms-windows and linux platforms. Falling back on xalan 2.4.1 (distributed with the current j2se) works fine. I have no access to a 2.5.x version to test.
