Hi all,


Requirement:
To make XML transformation output to be in NON UTF-16 on MSXML 3.0.
More
precisely SHIFT-JIS.


Problem:
.xml method output is UTF-16 BSTR format
.loadXML method takes input only as BSTR which is again in only UTF-16
The output of the transformation is in UTF-16
The value that we have on reading the output method of IXSLProcessor is
UTF-16 eventhough it can do it in the encoding specified in the
xsl:output
if provided with a custom output. (MSXML 3.0 SDK help on output method)


Understanding:
if i want the output in SHIFT_JIS for the tranformation i have only one
option: To give the custom output to the output method of the tranform
method.


Can any one validate if my understanding is right.
a sample file i tried is also noted here
===================================

<script language=JScript>
function tryTranformations() {
//the transformNode cannot be used,
//the loadXML method cannot be used
//the .xml method cannot be used
//because all of hte above return only UTF-16 string as per the
//Q275883 support INFO document.
//So the only avenue open is to use the output method of the
IXSLTProcessor.


var xslt = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XSLTemplate");
var xslDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument");
var xslProc;
xslDoc.async = false;
xslDoc.loadXML(document.all.style.xml);
xslt.stylesheet = xslDoc;
/*
//cannot use the three lines below, because the specification states
that
the loadXML method
//takes as input only the BSTR which is of UTF-16 format.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.loadXML(document.all.source.xml);*/
xslProc = xslt.createProcessor();
xslProc.input = xmlDoc.XMLDocument;
var xmlSink = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");


//The documenation says that if we try to read the property, then its
converted into UTF-16.
//So trying to give as input any of the objects which can work with the
ISream interface write method.
try {
  xslProc.transform();
  xslProc.output(xmlSink);
  alert("SUCCESSFUL in serialising in xmlSink DOM object ");
} catch (e)  {
  alert("Cannot be serialised in xmlSink DOM object " +
e.description);
}


try {
  xslProc.transform();
  xslProc.output(xmlSink.load);
  alert("SUCCESSFUL in serialising in xmlSink Load method ");
} catch (e) {
   alert("Cannot be serialised in xmlSink load method " +
e.description);
}


try {
  xslProc.transform();
  xslProc.output(xmlSink.loadXML);
  alert("SUCCESSFUL in serialising in xmlSink LoadXML method ");
} catch (e) {
  alert("Cannot be serialised in xmlSink loadXML method " +
e.description);
}


try {
  xslProc.transform();
  xslProc.output(document); //might be document.write used IStream
  alert("SUCCESSFUL in serialising in document object ");
} catch (e) {
  alert("Cannot be serialised in document object " + e.description);
 }


//So any way to get the output of the transformation only in SHIFT_JIS
}
</script>
</html>


===================================


Or can can one suggest anyother method to get SHIFT_JIS as the output
of a
tranformation.
Basically is it feasible. with MSXML 3.0 on IE.
