Actually that was the problem my response did not include the xml descriptor.
UTF-8 doesn't work but iso-8859-1 (Latin 1) does work so by adding this to the
header for the xml document the AJAX browser object processes it fine now.
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...

Hi Brian,
1. Make sure you have "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" defined for
your encoding in your file.
2. Are you sure that the special characters are actually UTF-8 characters and
not some goofy windows/esoteric character encoding? I have seen issue arise
when copying and pasting from Word documents, etc. One thing that always got
me is that Eclipse's default char encoding on windows *IS NOT* UTF-8. If you
are using Eclipse to work with your XML (or any other text for that matter),
you should adjust the general editor settings like so:
Window > Preferences > General > Editors: Change the "Text File Encoding"
from "Default (Cp1252)" to "Other" and select "UTF-8" from the list. This
should solve any cutting/pasting issues you might run into as Eclipse seems to
be able to automatically convert into UTF-8 when set up correctly.
Some things that may help us better understand your issue.
- Might be helpful if you posted the specific error you are getting.
- Does this happen on reading from XML, writing to XML or both?
Hth,
-Scott

I am running into a problem where I have special (international) characters in
attribute for an XML tag.
i.e. <MyTag theAttribute="Señor Gómez" />
I presume I need to encode the string somehow, how can I do this in Java?
Thanks for any help...
