I discovered this post:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-tipsaxxni/
and implemented both approaches (SAX and Xerces XNI).
Unfortunately, for the attached XML file, both methods
output an encoding of UTF-8, while looking at the file
I tried.
And I can not get it to work either.
SAX detects UTF-8 no matter what it really is.
StAX seems never to detect and W3C DOM seems to
always detect correct.
I can not offer an explanation. Obviously the parsers
need to internally detect correct. Otherwise they
could not parse correct.
Code below.
