Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I have an app that creates a DOM structure that may contain some special character such as accent letters.

Then I transform the DOM structure to obtain a XML string.

Here is my code:

DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

Document doc = builder.newDocument();


... contruction of the DOM ...

ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

StreamResult result = new StreamResult(os);
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();

Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();



DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);

transformer.transform(source, result);


String XMLstring = os.toString();


My problem is that the special character in the XMLstring are not the same as in the DOM source.

How can I solve this problem?

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance
