Default encoding is used to decode responses. --------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-2190 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-2190 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: jbossws-native-3.0.1 Environment: JBoss AS 4.2, JAXWS 3.0.1 Native. Reporter: Sławomir Wojtasiak During response processing (on client side) JaxWS Native uses default JVM character encoding to read data from inputStream but there is always UTF-8 used as a default encoding when response is sent to the client. Following code sets encoding while response is prepared and sent on the server side: boolean writeXML = isWriteXMLDeclaration(); String charsetEncoding = getCharSetEncoding(); SOAPElementWriter writer = new SOAPElementWriter(outs, charsetEncoding); // Implementation of getCharSetEncoding(). private String getCharSetEncoding() throws SOAPException { String charsetName = (String)getProperty(CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING); if (charsetName == null) charsetName = "UTF-8"; return charsetName; } On the client side there is no character encoding set when input stream is passed to the xml parser, so default encoding is used to decode it (which is ISO-8859-1 in my case and I can't change it only because JaxWS needs it). I'm sure that DEFAULT encoding should be the same during processing requests and responses. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
