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

//the transformNode cannot be used,

var xmlSink = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");
//The documenation says that if we try to read the property, then its

ISream interface write method.
try {

xslProc.output(xmlSink);
alert("SUCCESSFUL in serialising in xmlSink DOM object ");
} catch (e) {

try {

xslProc.output(xmlSink.load);

try {

xslProc.output(xmlSink.loadXML);

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>

===================================
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.
