Java Forum / General / January 2008SAX and invalid chars
Hello My Problem is that I have to parse an XML file that contains som invalid chars (i.e. 0x0E or 0x1E) So running this normally will break parsing. Though easy solution I could think of would be create a stream to pipe the input through an filter lower bytes out. The problem is that if my XML is not in windows-1252 but some other char encoding I might break encoding by this. Is there any patent solution to the problem?

Do the same as the XML parser. Read the XML header and get encoding from there.

Which is easy if you know that the XML file is in some superset of ASCII, since the entrie XML header will then be in ASCII. It's tricker if the XML file might be in any encoding at all (e.g. EBCDIC, UTF-16, etc.) In the latter case, look at Appendix F (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-guessing) for some useful tips.

Thx for your pointers.. Though the solution seems to be to heavy ... and as I am only expecting utf-8 and windows-1252 I probably do with the hack of just removing the bytes ... (and search the api now if there is some easy way to throw an exception if none of these encodings are used..) thx Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
