Re: [xsl] Discarding encoding="UTF-8" in the '<xml>'element

[ram.shankar@xxxxxxxxx]

Hello David
Thanks for the input. Indeed the xml generated  with <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?> is a valid xml file ,  as I can see that it validates
against a schema in that external server.


Thanks and Regards
Ram

  The xml file generated has to be uploaded to an external server. The
  specs
  say that the tag only has to be in the format <?xml version="1.0"?>,
  maybe
  there is some validation being done. I am not aware of that validation
  but
  i know that the tag should be like <?xml version="1.0"?>.
  Is there a way to achieve this ?


<?xml is not an element so no (dtd or schema) validation can be applied
to it. If your process rejects  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
then it does not conform to the XML specification as every XML processor
is mandated to accept this.
