If your xml source doesn't have an xml declaration in the top:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
then the xml parser will default to reading the document in utf-8. Make
sure that xerces is at least reading the file in the desired encoding.
Alternatively, you should be able to use the getBytes("ISO-8859-1")
method on a string in java that will throw an
UnsupportedEncodingException and catch that.
