Answer
Typically the required encoding is UTF-8.
An example would be:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<patronList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.exlibris.com/Voyager/patron">
Additional Information
Incorrect encoding (for example, utf-16) can cause errors which are not logged in the vxws servrice and thus difficult to troubleshoot.
