Exception while invoking the webservice from the client program "Illegal ASCII character, 0xc3"

We are invoking a webservice by generating a client jar using the client gen task of weblogic 10.3.0. While invoking the webservice getting an exception as below.

I googled and made the below changes, but with no luck.

((Stub)automotiveConfigCompareService4APortType)._setProperty(weblogic.wsee.jaxrpc.WLStub.CHARACTER_SET_ENCODING,"UTF-8");

and

-Dweblogic.webservice.i18n.charset=UTF-8

The same service was working perfectly fine in weblogic 8.6, We are facing this issue while migrating the application from weblogic 8.1 to 10.3.0

Any help to really appreciated.

0xc3 is "latin capital letter A with tilde"

What is the source of your input text? Did previous versions versions of weblogic handle input with this character correctly?

This is an issue with the weblogic 10.3.0. After we install the patch from Oracle, the issue got resolved.
