[xsl] Re: encoding error when using cdata

I'm sorry to have to admit that I have no idea how to check what kind
of serializer I'm using. I don't even know what a serializer is. That
gives me one more thing to read up on today.

Mike.

I strongly suspect that you are using the DOM serializer rather than the
XSLT serializer. Check the code used to run the transformation: if you are
sending the result to a DOM destination, then the XSLT processor is not
doing the serialization, and everything you say in xsl:output is ignored.

Hello Michael & all,

Many thanks for your reply. What I don't understand is why
the resultant XML file is encoded like this: <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-16"?>. I can't seem to change it! What I want
is WINDOWS-1252, but I end up with UTF-16 no matter what I do
(The source XML document is UTF-8). My XSL looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml"
cdata-section-elements="Name LongDesc"/> <xsl:template
match="/" xmlns:wc="http://www.ptc.com/infoengine/1.0";>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks again,

Mike.

The error is Microsoft-specific, see for example

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275883

Incidentally, your code shows inconsistencies in the spelling of
"description" and "longDesc". XML is case-sensitive.

Subject: [xsl] encoding error when using cdata

Hello all,

I've been experimenting with cdata because I've got some funny
characters in my XML files. I've got something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <wc:COLLECTION
xmlns:wc="http://www.ptc.com/infoengine/1.0";>
<ChangedParts NAME="ChangedParts" TYPE="Unknown"
STATUS="0"> <Part>
<Name>446RLi SMD ASSY</Name> <description></description>
<LongDesc></LongDesc>

etc...

The XSL looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml"
cdata-section-elements="Name Description Longdesc"/> <xsl:template
match="/" xmlns:wc="http://www.ptc.com/infoengine/1.0";>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

And the resultant XML turns out like this...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> <wc:COLLECTION
xmlns:wc="http://www.ptc.com/infoengine/1.0";>

etc...

I now get the following error: Switch from current encoding to
specified encoding not supported. Line: 1. <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-16"?>

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've tried different encoding
methods in the XSL file, but they appear to be ignored.

Thanks,

Mike.
