Description

The small example program below demonstrates the problem:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp>
#include <xercesc/util/XMLString.hpp>
#include <xercesc/dom/DOM.hpp>
#include <xercesc/framework/MemBufInputSource.hpp>
#include <xercesc/parsers/XercesDOMParser.hpp>
#include <xercesc/framework/StdOutFormatTarget.hpp>

const XMLCh pCore[] =

{ 'C', 'o', 'r', 'e', '\0' }

;
const XMLCh pRoot[] =

{ 'r', 'o', 'o', 't', '\0' }

;
const XMLCh pVers[] =

{ '1', '.', '0', '\0' }

;
const XMLCh pEnc [] =

{ 'I', 'S', 'O', '-', '8', '8', '5', '9', '-', '1', '\0' }

;
const XMLCh pLS [] =

{ 'L', 'S', '\0' }

;
const XMLCh pLF [] =

{ '\n', '\0' }

;

using namespace xercesc;

void printf_xml( const DOMDocument *doc )
{
DOMImplementation *irl = DOMImplementationRegistry::getDOMImplementation( pLS );
DOMWriter *theSerializer = ((DOMImplementationLS *)irl)->createDOMWriter();
theSerializer->setEncoding( pEnc );
XMLFormatTarget *xmlft = new StdOutFormatTarget();
theSerializer->writeNode( xmlft, *doc );
delete xmlft;
delete theSerializer;
}

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize( "es_ES" );

{ setlocale( LC_ALL, "es_ES@euro" ); //setlocale( LC_ALL, "es_ES.iso885915@euro" ); // the same problem DOMImplementation *irc = DOMImplementationRegistry::getDOMImplementation( pCore ); DOMDocument *doc = irc->createDocument( 0, 0, 0 ); doc->setVersion( pVers ); doc->setEncoding( pEnc ); DOMElement *de = doc->createElement( pRoot ); static XMLCh *pValue = XMLString::transcode( "1.234´56" ); DOMText *dt = doc->createTextNode( pValue ); XMLString::release( &pValue ); de->appendChild( dt ); doc->appendChild( de ); printf_xml( doc ); doc->release(); }

XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();
return 0;
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep close attention to the XMLString::transcode() call.
The value "1.234´56" is passed using the "ACUTE ACCENT" between characters '4' and '5'.
When the program is run, the result is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?><root>1.234Ž56</root>
Why does the unicode character Ž appear instead of ´?
Character Ž corresponds to "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON"
and not to "ACUTE ACCENT" that must be ´ on unicode.
