Re: [xmlblaster] is there an example showing how to send an XML document via pub/sub system?

Hi Gautam,

an XML is a byte[]. If you do a

       byte[] bytes = ...
       try {
           String xml = new String(bytes, "UTF-8");
       } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
           e.printStackTrace();
       }

you have assumed it is UTF-8 encoded (which is the xml default and is 
advisable).

But usually you shouldn't do that.
If you use a xml parser for the XML InputStream (from byte[])
it correctly detects the encoding of the xml by looking at the XML header

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

To summarize: A byte[] is a perfect transport medium for xml,

Marcel
