Error description
Abstract: Attempts to save an XSL file in Rational Application Developer which was created and saved externally in ISO-8859-1 the encoding is not preserved and, instead reverts to UTF-8. Problem: You have saved an XSL file using an external editor and selecting the ISO-8859-1 encoding. You import this file into Rational Application Developer and you find that changes to the file contents result in the original encoding being ignored and UTF-8 being used instead. When the file is next opened you find that certain characters are now unreadable because they are UTF-8 encoded. Local fix: After importing the XSL from the external source, change the file encoding by selecting Properties from the context menu and choose ISO-8859-1 as the explicit (not default) text file encoding.
