[AXISCPP-1001] getElementAsString returns empty string for strings containing non-USASCII characters

• Type: Bug

Description

We currently moving a text-transforming-engine which has a axis-webservices-interface from HP-UX to Linx. It operates on german text. The webservice-request is UTF-8-encoding so every german special-character non-USASCII (öäüß) has more than one byte.

The effect we watch is that text which doesn't contain such special characters is returned by "getElementAsString" normally. If a german special character is included the "getElementAsString"-method returns an empty string.

If the text contains < or > (which is of course transported as < and &glt;) these symbols cuts the original text into pieces and "getElementAsString" returns a concatination of those pieces whichs doesn't contain non-USASCII characters.

Examples:

"üblicherweise" is returned as ""
"üblicherweise <bringt> ist das übel" is returned as "<bringt>"
"üblicherweise <bringt> ist das ok" is returned as "<bringt> ist das ok"

Another hint: The same service on HP-UX (aCC-compiled) works correct.
