Hi, I am getting Validation Error: Malformed XML data for XML request having Katakana/Hiragana characters in it. Below error lines from the request report from F5 <v11:frgnfirstName...

EmployeeDo you have an XML profile configured?
Do you have the correct schema and wsdl configured in the XML profile?
You may need to set the internal ASM variable relax_unicode_in_xml to 1
From the version 12.0.0 release notes:
> So that you can bypass unicode validation on XML and JSON profiles, we added two internal parameters:
- relax_unicode_in_xml: The default is 0 which is the current behavior. When the value is changed to 1, a bad unicode character does not produce an XML malformed violation. A bad unicode character might be a legal unicode character that does not appear in the mapping of the system's XML parser.
- relax_unicode_in_json: The default is 0 which is the current behavior. When the value is changed to 1, a bad unicode character does not produce a JSON malformed violation. A bad unicode character might be a legal unicode character that does not appear in the mapping of the system's JSON parser.
NakDThank you S Blakely,
To answer you question,
Do you have the correct schema and wsdl configured in the XML profile? - YES
Actually we send Katakana & Hirahana Japanese characters in XML like below,
<v11:frgnfirstName>マレーシア シンガポール</v11:frgnfirstName>
<v11:frgnlastName>篠田</v11:frgnlastName>
It gets converted to below,
<v11:frgnfirstName>マレーシア　シンガフール</v11:frgnfirstName>
<v11:frgnlastName>ç¯ ç”°</v11:frgnlastName>
Request is blocked at F5 with Validation Error: Malformed XML data
Will relax_unicode_in_xml to 1 resolve this issue and F5 will pass the request to services end?
Br,

You will need to test to determine whether the issue gets resolved.
But I'm pretty sure it might.
