StAX - Setting the version and encoding using XMLStreamWriter

I am using StAX for creating XML files and then validating the file with and XSD.

I am getting an error while c开发者_开发问答reating the XML file:

javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Underlying stream encoding 'Cp1252' and input paramter for writeStartDocument() method 'UTF-8' do not match.
        at com.sun.xml.internal.stream.writers.XMLStreamWriterImpl.writeStartDocument(XMLStreamWriterImpl.java:1182)

Here is the code snippet:

XMLOutputFactory xof =  XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();

try{

  XMLStreamWriter xtw = xof.createXMLStreamWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
  xtw.writeStartDocument("UTF-8","1.0");} catch(XMLStreamException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();

} catch(IOException ie) {

  ie.printStackTrace();

}

I am running this code on Unix. Does anybody know how to set the version and encoding style?


I would try to use the createXMLStreamWriter() with an output parameter too.

[EDIT] Tried, it works by changing the createXMLStreamWriter line:

XMLStreamWriter xtw = xof.createXMLStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(fileName), "UTF-8");

[EDIT 2] Made a little more complex test, for the record:

String fileName = "Test.xml";
XMLOutputFactory xof =  XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();
XMLStreamWriter xtw = null;
try
{
  xtw = xof.createXMLStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(fileName), "UTF-8");
  xtw.writeStartDocument("UTF-8", "1.0");
  xtw.writeStartElement("root");
  xtw.writeComment("This is an attempt to create an XML file with StAX");

  xtw.writeStartElement("foo");
  xtw.writeAttribute("order", "1");
    xtw.writeStartElement("meuh");
    xtw.writeAttribute("active", "true");
      xtw.writeCharacters("The cows are flying high this Spring");
    xtw.writeEndElement();
  xtw.writeEndElement();

  xtw.writeStartElement("bar");
  xtw.writeAttribute("order", "2");
    xtw.writeStartElement("tcho");
    xtw.writeAttribute("kola", "K");
      xtw.writeCharacters("Content of tcho tag");
    xtw.writeEndElement();
  xtw.writeEndElement();

  xtw.writeEndElement();
  xtw.writeEndDocument();
}
catch (XMLStreamException e)
{
  e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException ie)
{
  ie.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
  if (xtw != null)
  {
    try
    {
      xtw.close();
    }
    catch (XMLStreamException e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}


This should work:

// ...
Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(fileName), "UTF-8");
XMLStreamWriter xtw = xof.createXMLStreamWriter(writer);
xtw.writeStartDocument("UTF-8", "1.0");
// ...


From the code it is hard to know for sure, but if you are relying on the default Stax implementation that JDK 1.6 provides (Sun sjsxp) I would recommend upgrading to use Woodstox. It is known to be less buggy than Sjsxp, supports the whole Stax2 API and has been actively developed and supported (whereas Sun version was just written and there has been limited number of bug fixes).

But the bug in your code is this:

XMLStreamWriter xtw = xof.createXMLStreamWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));

you are relying on the default platform encoding (which must be CP-1252, windows?). You should always explicitly specify encoding you are using. Stream writer is just verifying that you are not doing something dangerous, and spotted inconsistence that can cause corrupt document. Pretty smart, which actually suggests that this is not the default Stax processor. :-)

(the other answer points a correct workaround, too, by just passing OutputStream and encoding to let XMLStreamWriter do the right thing)


If using the default XMLStreamWriter bundled with the Oracle JRE/JDK you should always

  • create a XMLStreamWriter, explicitly setting the character encoding: xmlOutputFactory.createXMLStreamWriter(in, encoding)
  • start the document and explicitly setting the encoding: xmlStreamWriter.writeStartDocument(encoding, version). The writer is not smart enough remembering the encoding set when the writer was created. However, it checks if these encodings are the same. See code below.

This way, your file encoding and XML declaration are always in sync. Although specifying the encoding in the XML declaration is optional, XML best practice is to always specify it.

This is the code from the Oracle (Sun) implementation (Sjsxp):

String streamEncoding = null;
if (fWriter instanceof OutputStreamWriter) {
    streamEncoding = ((OutputStreamWriter) fWriter).getEncoding();
}
else if (fWriter instanceof UTF8OutputStreamWriter) {
    streamEncoding = ((UTF8OutputStreamWriter) fWriter).getEncoding();
}
else if (fWriter instanceof XMLWriter) {
    streamEncoding = ((OutputStreamWriter) ((XMLWriter)fWriter).getWriter()).getEncoding();
}

if (streamEncoding != null && !streamEncoding.equalsIgnoreCase(encoding)) {
    // If the equality check failed, check for charset encoding aliases
    boolean foundAlias = false;
    Set aliases = Charset.forName(encoding).aliases();
    for (Iterator it = aliases.iterator(); !foundAlias && it.hasNext(); ) {
        if (streamEncoding.equalsIgnoreCase((String) it.next())) {
            foundAlias = true;
        }
    }
    // If no alias matches the encoding name, then report error
    if (!foundAlias) {
        throw new XMLStreamException("Underlying stream encoding '"
                + streamEncoding
                + "' and input paramter for writeStartDocument() method '"
                + encoding + "' do not match.");
    }
}
