smooks-edi-cartridge 2.0.0-RC1 UTF-8 symbols

[muellerch2293]

Hi,
Smooks is just great! Thanks for that!
i am referring to the post in:
https://groups.google.com/g/smooks-user/c/fkEp8TDJKxY/m/XBgDoz4uBgAJ
we are experiencing the same issue. Can you try to make the encoding parametrizable?

to our understanding it would be best if the encoding was automatically detected using the payload UNOY UNOC etc...
what do you think about that?

Hi, pushing this issue again...
i think that this issue is essential for all non-US users.
it would be great if you could look into it!

Hi Christian, have you tried the solution that was posted in the thread?

This problem is likely happening because IBM_EDI_Format.dfdl.xsd has its encoding hard-coded to iso-8859-1. An easy workaround is to modify edi-to-xml-order-mapping.dfdl.xsd so that it points to your own DFDL format which has the encoding set to utf-8. It would be great if you could open an issue for this. The encoding can probably be parameterised.

At first glance I'd say automatically detecting the encoding isn't trivial to correctly implement.

Can we close this one @muellerch2293?

The encoding has been parameterised and it can be set from the Smooks execution context: executionContext.setContentEncoding("UTF-8")
