Hello, What do you mean by "convert it into InputSource"? Did you use a byte inputStream or a character input stream? And precisely how did the parser crash? Xerces can certainly read UTF-8 encoded XML documents directly; it also should have no problems with character streams, so long as the JVM had enough information to encode the characters correctly.

I am working with Apache Xerces-J parser and found that it can not handle Unicode characters in a XML document (or they have some hidden way of working around with them). What I tried was simple - create a UTF-8 encoded XML file, read it into a String, convert this String object into InputSource and try to parse it using Apache DOMParser - it just crashes!! Any insight will be a great help.
