[JDEV] Using Java Socket and JAXP1.1 DefaultHandler

[Chris Chen]

Yea, I encountered this problem myself as well when I was developing the 
Jabber API.

Essentially, the XML Parser doesn't know exactly how to parse the data 
based on the encoding.. The way I got it to work is to wrap the output and 
input streams of the socket inside BufferedReader and BufferedWriter (with 
encoding UTF8 since Jabber by default uses UTF8).

This apparently worked for me.. If you would like to see what's up, you can 
look at my Jabber API source code (look at the class 
com.echomine.jabber.JabberProtocol).

You can download the source and take a look

Thanks,
Chris
