XMI Export/Import with German Character set fails

[chrisHauert]

Hi there
I use a EA 4.1 739 unicode version. I try to export a model containing german characters (umlaute ä, ö, ü). The export works, but the xmi file can't be shown.
It can't be imported unless the characters are replaced in the xmi-File, so I loose the german spelling.
Can somebody give me a hint, please?

Use the editor an replace the characters manually by the appropriate "&"-notation?

Hi Thomas

Thanks for the tipp. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way because xml considers &... as a reference to an entity. I added the encoding attribute as it used to be in ea 3.60 with "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?> " in the xml file. Then the import works. What I can't understand is that I replaced it in the EA.dtd and in the EA_UML.dtd as well, but it's not taken into consideration when creating the xmi-export.

cheers Chris

It was a flaw not to relegate umlaut with the "Rechtschreibreform"  
Probably you should then ask for a bug correction. Aussies don't need Umlaut and probably will not have testet against these
