using oenc parameter in <iw_ostream>

tobias

We are using TS 6.5 on Solaris.

For specific reasons the generated files of one particular datatype have to be encoded in "ISO-8859-1" The default encoding of everything else has to be "UTF-8", and is set accordingly in the iwpt_compile.ipl file.

In the particular presentation template I first write everything I want to generate into a buffer, and at the end I write the buffer to my output file, using the following line:

<iw_ostream file='{iw_value name="outputLocation"/}' oenc="ISO-8859-1"/>

However, the generated file is not encoded in ISO.

I already set the default encoding to "ISO-8859-1" in the iwpt_compile.ipl file, and then the generated file is correctly encoded in ISO. But as mentioned before, all other templates have to generate "UTF-8" files, so the default has to be "UTF-8".

Has anyone used the "oenc" parameter of the tag successfully? If so, could you please give me a hint about what I might be doing wrong?

I attach the presentation template, in case anyone wants to have a closer look.
Any comments and hints are greatly appreciated.

TST Engine encodes output stream piecemeal when it writes to the buffer, not when it dumps buffer to the File.
So, you populate 'default' buffer in UTF-8 and when you write it with different oenc it's simply too late.
You'll have to redesign a bit, keep in mind though that oenc may only be specified if a 'file' or 'file_val' is given
