I'm using jersey client to make a request to a webservice.

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(new ClientConfig()); Invocation.Builder builder = client.target("http://someurl.com").request(); String result = builder.get(String.class);

Then I got the response

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <DATA>some data with é è à characters</DATA>

But in my String result, response looks like that

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <DATA>some data with � � � characters</DATA>

How can I tell jersey to properly decode the webservice response ?

Thanks Wizbot, I was having exactly the same problem today.

I wanted to post my java 8 solution without having Guava dependency:

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(new ClientConfig()); Invocation.Builder builder = client.target("http://someurl.com").request(); Response response = builder.get(); BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader((InputStream) response.getEntity(), StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1)); String result = bufferedReader.lines().collect(Collectors.joining(""));

I did find a workaround for the moment

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(new ClientConfig()); Invocation.Builder builder = client.target("http://someurl.com").request(); Response response = builder.get(); String result = CharStreams.toString(new InputStreamReader((InputStream) response.getEntity(), Charsets.ISO_8859_1));

CharStreams is a Guava class but there are other way to transform an InputStream into a String with the right Charset.
