Validation Error: Malformed XML data

Thank 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,

Nakul
