| | | Charset conversion problem | Charset conversion problem 2003-10-03 - By Eric VERGNAUD

Hi JDOM,
I don't know if this is a bug or a setting I cannot find. I'm running JDOM
b-9 on MacOSX.
>From a byte stream, I receive a xml document with some accented characters
in it. For example:
<record>
?tats-unis
</record>
The above character ? is properly encoded in UTF-8 as bytes C3 89 which
decode to C9 or 201 which is indeed the Unicode value for that character.
However when I parse the document, and then get the text from the element,
It appears that the 201 has turned into 131 which happens to be the code for
? in the MacOS latin charset.
So it looks like the element data is converted to the platform charset
rather than unicode.
I hope I'm simply missing something. Here is how I parse the data:
byte[] data; // comes from elsewhere (at this point the bytes are C389)
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
SAXBuilder sax = new SAXBuilder();
sax.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
Document received = sax.build(is);
// when I get there the character is 131 instead of 201
Any advice will be appreciated,
Eric
