Thank you! That ALMOST made my day..:-)
I'm outputting the debug data to a textfile. When I use the utf-8 encoding i Get
<City xsi:type="xsd:string">Säffle</City>

and when I disable it I get this
<City xsi:type="xsd:string">Säffle</City>

Is this because of the logfile itself, or will it look like this when I post it into the webservice? The Logfile itself is created with Perl and gets populated with CGI::Carp.
