They are required to read, but what character encoding sets are they
required to save to?
I am using Xalan-J 1.0.0 and Xerces-J 1.0.3 (with JRE 1.2), but when I have
this in my XSL:
< xsl:output indent="no" method="xml" encoding="UTF-16"/ >
I get the following error:
org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLProcessorException: Unsupported encoding: UTF-16
Can anyone confirm for me that Xerces does not support UTF-16?
Of course this isn't the most current version of Xerces. Maybe I need to
upgrade?
