Re: [bdbxml] default document encoding

Hello,

If you use a wholedocument storage container, you'll get back
exactly what you put in, encoding and all.  You have
to use the XmlDocument::getContent*() methods.

Specific query results as XmlValue objects are going to be UTF-8.
Node storage containers will also return documents as UTF-8 in
all cases (they are stored as UTF-8).

If you need to get the original encoding,  the simplest thing is to
use wholedocument storage.  If this is not an option,
you'll need to transcode it.

Using the C++ interface, you can do this using
the XmlDocument::getContentAsDOM() method along
with using a Xerces DOMWriter interface to transcode.
Note that the DOMWriter can be pretty heavy-weight.

There are plans to add transcoding options to some of the
"get" interfaces in the future.   What would you like to see in this
area?
