Why are some German characters changed to 2 characters?

  • 1.  Why are some German characters changed to 2 characters?

    Posted Wed January 15, 2003 01:36 PM

    We have begun receiving from a German partner and have found that some of the characters are changed to 2 characters in Web Methods.

    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to prevent it?

    We originally received all this through Trading Networks when we discovered the problem. I have created a test flow service where I have entered these values in directly, then do a recordToDocument and email the xmldata out as an attachment. The Results tab shows all values as still 1 character but the attached file has 2 characters.

    Thanks
    Steve

    Steven,

    As a quick first guess, check the encoding header of the XML documents. The default is UTF-8, perhaps you need a more international encoding, such as ISO-8859-1.

    Good luck,

    – Ted

    Hi Ted.

    We have the same problem here with the trading networks, but the encoding in the xml is ISO-8859-1.

    Greetings,
    Wilhelm
