Modifying character set encoding for Service SOAP rules
By default, Pega Platform uses UTF-8 as the character set encoding for SOAP response messages.
- To change character set encoding for SOAP responses, modify the value of the
CharacterEncodingparameter that is specified for thePRSOAPServletservlet in the Pega Platformweb.xmlfile. - If required, you can configure Pega Platform so that the
encoding of the response matches the encoding of each SOAP request, no matter
what it is set to. To implement this configuration, do the following:
- Delete the
CharacterEncodingparameter from the servlet definition ofPRSOAPServletin theweb.xmlfile. - Configure the external application that sends the SOAP requests so that
it includes the
Content-TypeHTTP request header in the SOAP request, specifying the character set encoding of the message.
Result: If a SOAP request provides an encoding value, the PRSOAPServletservlet uses that character set for the response. But if the SOAP request does not specify an encoding value,PRSOAPServletuses UTF-8. - Delete the
