http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36699 Summary: PropertiesConfiguration.load should default to encoding "8859_1" Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Configuration AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Same issue as: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17616 Copied from 17616 The default load method for commons.collections.ExtendedProperties currently loads properties using the default JVM encoding. The default load() method should use "8859_1" encoding. Rationale: 1) consistency: java.util.Properties.load() method always uses "8859_1" 2) properties resources are always 8859_1, by convention. 2) On edbcic machines, particularly IBM mainframes, the default encoding is Cp1047 (ebcdic), but properties files are always ASCII (ISO8859-1) 3) This bug causes many Apache tools, such as Velocity, which uses commons.collections, to fail on non-ascii machines, since they distribute properties resources which are (correctly) in 8859-1. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
