[jbossws-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBWS-2205) XML Declaration contains encoding in AS 5.x but not in AS 4.2.x

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWS-2205?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] Alessio Soldano commented on JBWS-2205: --------------------------------------- This is because of different StAX implementations being used in AS 5 and AS 4.2. My analysis is the following: Metro seems to rely on the default encoding to be used when creating messages. However sjsxp does not emit the encoding attribute when it is not explicity set. Woodstox instead emits UTF-8 in such cases. The AS5 uses Woodstox, that's why the xml declaration contains the encoding. As a matter of fact setting on AS5 -Djavax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory=com.sun.xml.stream.ZephyrParserFactory -Djavax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory=com.sun.xml.stream.ZephyrWriterFactory -Djavax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory=com.sun.xml.stream.events.ZephyrEventFactory cause the AS42 behavior (no encoding). The same way, setting on AS42 -Djavax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory -Djavax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxOutputFactory -Djavax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory=com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxEventFactory you get the encoding in the xml declaration. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
