I have an Oracle procedure which interacts with a Web Service using SOAP Architecture.

Interact with WebService using UTL_HTTP Package.

While Interacting with Web Service and passing Multi-Byte Charachters example: (À Á Å Ä Ê Ë Ì Ð Ò Õ Ö Ù Û Ý á í ý ÿ)
in XML request I am getting error:

"org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence."

Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this XML error.

Here is the XML Code generated by my Oracle procedure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<UName xmlns="">Tim  Änude </UName>
<checkInDate xmlns="">12/12/2009</checkInDate>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>



Please suggest how I can fix it in Oracle PL SQL Procedure?

most folks, including me, can't debug code we can not see.

It would be helpful if you followed Posting Guidelines - http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/

I think maybe he was asking for an explanation of the error.

Unfortunately there are few people who have experience in this area. Your best bet may be to do a google and look for some info. I did, looks like there is lots of people talking about it.

In general the error is telling you that your xml parser is expecting input to be in utf-8 format but there are one of more characters that in your input stream that are not allowed in utf-8 character set.

Good luck, Kevin

Thanks Kevin and Black Swan.

As you have correctly identified the XML for Web Service is looking for UTF-8 encoding.

My concern is it is already is UTF-8.

I have found a function which strips the UTF-8 Characters but I do not want to use it.

On google i couldn't find much related to Oracle.

Any other suggestion so that the 2-Byte error doesn't comes... any kind of string manipulation i can do here ?

Hi All,

I got the answer....

The xml soap request doesn't accepts UTF-8 characters ( which are in 2Bytes), we need to convert it in plsql to ASCII Super sets

here is the statement i used to convert it and it worked perfectly for me:

SQL> SELECT CONVERT('Ä Ê Í Ó Ø A B C D E','UTF8','WE8ISO8859P1')
  2  FROM dual;

CONVERT('ÄÊÍÓØABCDE','UTF8','W
----------------------------------
ÿ ÿ Í ÿ ÿ A B C D E

SQL> -- the converted string can be passed to xml


Thanks
