Specifying the Default Output Encoding for a Service

To specify the default output encoding for a service, you use the RspEncoding attribute

in the SDL definition of the service, as described in SDL DTD for TS/MP and NonStop

Processes on page 3-1.

Matching the Output Encoding to the Request Message

If the request message does not include the Encoding element in the header and the

SDL file does not prescribe the encoding type for the service, the SOAP server uses

the encoding of the request. The encoding of the request message is “UTF-8” unless

the xml prolog element specifies another encoding.

For example, this message identifies the encoding as “Shift_JIS.”

For another example, see Controlling the Output Encoding on page 6-42.

Example 4-16. Fault for Unsupported Encoding

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope

xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<SOAP-ENV:Body>

<SOAP-ENV:Fault>

<faultcode> SOAP-ENV:Client.Process</faultcode>

<faultstring>Error parsing the header of the XML

document</faultstring>

<detailString>Bad OutputEncoding value <encoding name> was

specified

</detailString>

</detail>

<SOAP-ENV:Fault>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>

</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Example 4-17. A Message Specifying Its Own Encoding in the XML Prolog

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Shift_JIS" ?>

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope

xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:admin="urn:compaq_nsk_oss_soapquery">

<admin:ListServices serviceType="all">

</admin:ListServices>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>

</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
