Emmanuel Bourg updated CONFIGURATION-35:
----------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.2
> [configuration] PropertiesConfiguration.load should default to encoding
> "8859_1"
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CONFIGURATION-35
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-35
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Operating System: other
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: Will Glass-Husain
> Fix For: 1.2
>
>
> 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.
