UTF-16 encoding problem and UTF8 with BOM 2003-09-30 - By David M Williams
Actually, I tried the original test example with UTF-8 encoding, with the
(optional) 3 Bytes BOM at the beginning, and received the following error,
only when the setEncoding method was used:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.
at
org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(AbstractSAXParser.java:1172)
at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:345)
at test.SimpleSaxParser.parse(SimpleSaxParser.java:43)
at test.SimpleSaxParser.main(SimpleSaxParser.java:64)
Perhaps that 'setEncoding' method causes BOM handling to be skipped
altogther?

Hi,
I do not see anything wrong in your code. I have the following
piece
of code in my program, working perfectly fine since last couple months. I
am using UTF-8 though. I do NOT think the change in encoding will make any
difference, provided your file is in the format given in setEncoding
method.
What I suspect is, your input file is not UTF-16 encoded but, you are
setting the stream encoding as UTF-16. Check it out & let us know if that
fixes the problem. I use UniPad UTF editor to check encoding.
try {
InputSource ipSource = new InputSource();
ipSource.setEncoding("UTF-8");
ipSource.setByteStream( new FileInputStream( new File(inputFile) )
);
parser.parse(ipSource);
return true;
} catch (SAXParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
Thanks,
Ravi Varanasi
