Changing SOAP message encoding to support WSI-Basic Profile
Support for
Universal Transformation Format (UTF)-16 encoding
is required by the WS-I Basic Profile 1.0. WebSphere® Application
Server conforms to the WS-I Basic Profile 1.1. UTF-16 is a kind of
unicode encoding scheme using 16-bit values to store Universal Character
Set (UCS) characters. UTF-8 is the most common encoding that is used
on the Internet and UTF-16 encoding is typically used for Java and Windows product
applications. You can change the encoding in a SOAP message from UTF-8
to UTF-16.
