The original XSDs are encoded in utf-8 and use international characters. My guess is that while generating the WSDL jboss somehow rebuilds the original XSD types and tries to insert them in a piece of XML thats not utf-8? Maybe the WSDL itself? I noticed the WSDL that jbossws generates has no XML declaration <?xml version="" encoding=""...>! Is there some way to let jboss know it should use utf-8 all the way through? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/580207#580207] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
