    Thank you for submitting the Enhancement request. Even though DataPower is a supporting program of API Connect we do not support all the same features and capabilities that standalone product. We will continue to evaluate this and all other RFE requests for future product releases.

    Hi Team,


    We have attached a screenshot for UTF-16 request payload, request header, response header, and error message.

    In this error message we are referring to the flow like

    Request flow -

    Customer Portal(UTF-8) -> API Gateway(parse through UTF-8) -> Backend system(Trackwizz)

    Response flow -

    Backend system(Trackwizz)(UTF-16) -> API Gateway (convert XML to JSON using UTF-16 encoding) -> Customer Portal (JSON response)


    In a response flow why API gateway converting XML to JSON using UTF-16 encoding. We are getting an error message "500 Internal Server Error". Also in response header content type showing as "text/xml".


    Please help on this and let us know if you need more details.


    Thanks,

    Anant

    Hi Team,


    Customer wants to apply UTF-16 encoding for their future transactions.

    Curruntly the transaction hapens using UTF-8 encoding. As per the business requriment both request and response are using UTF-16 encoding.

    While we are implementing the same UTF-16 encoding in datapower we are getting error as "500 Internal Error".

    And unable to get any successful response.

    So requesting your help to know the implementation of UTF-16 encoding in datapower.

    Currently we are using datapower version 10.0.1.


    Thanks,

    Anant

    Hello Team,

    We tried to convert XML data to JSON format. We have successfully convert data XML to JSON when we used namespace as "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" in XML data but when we changed the encoding type as "UTF-16" then we are getting the error.

    Please find below sample payload of UTF-16 to need to convert in application/json

    XML Payload:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

    <Numbers>

    <Fno>25</Fno>

    <Sno>30</Sno>

    </Numbers>

    Please find attached screenshot which we are getting error from UTF-16 payload.
