      Deploy a WebService implementation using WildFly 9, Windows 7, Java file.encoding is set to default Cp1252 and the WSDL contains a schema definition with UTF-8 character not part of an ASCII characterset. like <xs:enumeration value="Geschäftlich"></xs:enumeration>

      A workaround would be to set the Java file.encoding of the VM to UTF-8 but that is not what I want because that workaround affects the whole Java application.

    Description

      I would like to deploy a WebService but I get an exception. The WSDL XSD file contains an german character 'ä'. See:
      Here is the part of the XSD:
      <xs:simpleType name="Teilnehmerart">
      <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:enumeration value="Privat"></xs:enumeration>
      <xs:enumeration value="Geschäftlich"></xs:enumeration>
      </xs:restriction>
      </xs:simpleType>

      The JBoss class org.jboss.ws.common.utils.AbstractWSDLFilePublisher
      writes the imported WSDL file using a FileWriter at line 166 + 167.
      FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(targetFile);
      wsdlWriter.writeWSDL(subdef, fw);
      In a next step this file is read again and results in an exception:
      Invalid byte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence.
      This is because the file is written in Cp1252 enconding together with an XML prolog
      UTF-8 encoding. That is crazy and cannot work.
      A workaround would be to set the Java file.encoding to UTF-8 but that is not what I want.

      There are two solutions:
      I think it is better to create a binary OutputStream instead of creating a FileWriter.
      The wsdlWriter offers two methods! The method with OutputStream argument would always write XML files using a UTF-8 encoding.

      An other way to fix that would be a bug fix to WSDL4J 1.6.3.
      The WSDL4J method com.ibm.wsdl.xml.WSDLWriterImpl.writeWSDL(Definition wsdlDef, Writer sink) does map default Java file.encoding to "UTF-8". That is sometimes wrong.
      The class com.ibm.wsdl.util.xml.DOM2Writer should have an XmlEncodingMapping from "Cp1252" to "Windows-1252". That would fix the problem also. But I think it would be better to use always UTF-8 with the OutputStream method.

      Best regards
