Xerces C++ defines an encoding-string that Xerces/Java refuses to parse
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: XERCESJ-1041
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1041
Project: Xerces2-J
Type: Bug
Versions: 2.4.0
Environment: XercesC-2.3, XalanJ 2.4, Solaris 6
Reporter: Dominik Stadler
We are using Xerces C++ to create XML-Messages that are later parsed by
Xerces/Java.
XercesC provides a define XMLUni::fgISO88591EncodingString for setting the
encoding, the XML-Message contains the string "ISO8859-1" as encoding.
When we later use Xerces/Java to parse this file, we get the following error:
[Fatal Error] :1:43: Invalid encoding name "ISO8859-1".
It seems that Xerces/Java only knows the encoding "ISO-8859-1" (with a dash),
but not "ISO8859-1" (without dash).
The XML-Specification states that "ISO-8859-1" (with a dash) SHOULD be used,
look at http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#charencoding
So in my opinion either Xerces C++ should not provide that define any more, or
Xerces/Java should be enhanced to accept that encoding-string. Otherwise
XercesC and XercesJ differ in this part, where we until now thought they would
be equal in their parsing-behavior.
I already report a Bug at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1336
that reports this for XercesC.
