[xsde-users] Re: Error during serialization of the character 'ü'

[Boris Kolpackov]

Hi Thomas,

Happy new year! 

The binary with support for ISO-8859-1 is ready:

http://www.codesynthesis.com/~boris/tmp/xsde-3.2.0.a2-i686-windows.zip

You will need to add the XSDE_ENCODING parameter to your config file
and rebuild the XSD/e runtime (see config/config.nmake for details).
You will also need to recompile your schemas with the 
'--char-encoding iso8859-1' option. After that you should be able to
use 'ü' directly in your application. See Chapter 3, "Mapping 
Configuration" in the C++/Hybrid Getting Started Guide for details.

Here is the relevant item from the NEWS file:

  * Support for ISO-8859-1 in addition to UTF-8 as application encoding.
    Note that this encoding is not the same as the XML document encoding 
    that is being parsed or serialized. Rather, it is the encoding that 
    is used inside the application. When an XML document is parsed the
    character data is automatically converted to the application encoding.
    Similarly, when an XML document is serialized, the data in the
    application encoding is automatically converted to the resulting
    document encoding. To select a particular encoding, configure the 
    XSD/e runtime library accordingly and pass the --char-encoding option
    to the XSD/e compiler when translating your schemas.    

Let us know if you run into any problems.

Boris
