Problem in parsing xml document with japanese text

[Prakash]

Hi all,

I am trying a parse a xml document containing japanese text by constructing a DOMBuilder object. The document created after parsing is empty. If the xml document does not contain japanese characters, the parsing goes thro' properly.

Here is the sample document that is causing the problem.

<root>
<aolist>
<ao>
<attribute id="Identifier"
dictName="Identifier"><value>3</value></attribute>
<attribute id="EventTime" dictName="EventTime"><value>2003ǯ06·î26Æü 13»þ</value></attribute> </ao> </aolist> </root>

Here is the sample code written to parse the xml document. The above xml string is present in newformatedstr and is passed to DOMBuilder parse method, after wrapping it into a xml structure using MemBufInputSource/Wrapper4InputSource.

DOMBuilder *parser_p = NULL;

{
// Wraps formattedMsg_r to create input structure for the parser MemBufInputSource memBuf_p( (const XMLByte*)newformattedstr.data , newformattedstr.length , "info" , false ); Wrapper4InputSource msg(&memBuf_p);

// Sets up the parser
static const XMLCh gLS = { chLatin_L, chLatin_S, chNull }; DOMImplementation *impl_p = DOMImplementationRegistry::getDOMImplementation(gLS); assert(impl_p);

parser_p = ((DOMImplementationLS*)impl_p)->createDOMBuilder(

DOMImplementationLS::MODE_SYNCHRONOUS,
0);
assert(parser_p);

parser_p->setFeature(XMLUni::fgDOMNamespaces, false);
parser_p->setFeature(XMLUni::fgXercesSchema, false);
parser_p->setFeature(XMLUni::fgXercesSchemaFullChecking, false); parser_p->setFeature(XMLUni::fgDOMValidateIfSchema, true); parser_p->setFeature(XMLUni::fgDOMDatatypeNormalization, true);

// Pointer to the temporary xml strucutre
DOMDocument* tempDoc_p = NULL;

try
{
parser_p->resetDocumentPool;
tempDoc_p = parser_p->parse(msg);
}
catch (const XMLException& e)
{
......
}
catch (...)
{
...............
}

// Root node of the temporal document.
DOMNode* tempRootNode_p =
(DOMNode*)tempDoc_p->getDocumentElement;
assert(tempRootNode_p);

XMLCh *tempDoc = theSerializer_p->writeToString(*tempDoc_p); assert(tempDoc);

char *output_tempDoc = XMLString::transcode(tempDoc);
outfile<<output_tempDoc<<endl;

parser_p->release;
}

I am using xerces 2.2.0. As I understand from the documents, this version supports internationalization. But not use why it is not able to parse. I tried both UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoding, it doesn't help.

Any pointers on how to solve this problem will be of great help.

Best Regards
