Re: Format problem?

Mike,

Because the formatter defaults to utf-8 if one doesn't specify it (which is what the XML document claims to be).

I'm certain that it's not the System console not showing it - the
characters in question would convert to 6 UTF-8 chars. The output spits
out 2 chars.

Cheers, Mark

I think it's more likely that System.out is not displaying 
the Unicode string correctly - generally my experience is that the operating 
system console is not capable of handling full Unicode, though it no doubt 
depends on the operating system and its configuration.
 
I'm not sure why you would expect to see UTF-8 (as distinct 
from other representations of Unicode).

The following code does NOT produce the UTF-8 that I had expected. As far  as I can tell the Text element only seems to work with ASCII text. I would  have expected it to work with non-ASCII text. Or am I doing something  dumb?

    private void jdomTest() throws  IOException
     {
        Element element = new  Element("doc");
         element.addContent(new  Text("\u4E2D\u6587"));
        Document  document = new  Document(element);

         StringWriter out = new  StringWriter();
        Format f =  Format.getPrettyFormat();
        new  XMLOutputter(f).output(document,  out);
        System.out.println("XML:  "+out);
    
}
