Julian,
   Since I am totally new to the xml api area, I really dont know what
to use.  For keeping it simpler, I wrote the xml normally.  But when
the requirement got changed, I am exploring options.

Can you please indicate a direction or provide me a small sample code
which needs to have functionality to encode to ucs-2 or utf-16 ?


Thanks
Sathish
