This method is a bit special. The exception swallowing was done in purpose, as it's guaranteed that the conversion will not fail.

However, I agree with Stefan : it would probably a better idea to thow a RuntimeException in this case. Feel free to modify the code accordingly.

        IMO it's ok to return a default value in case of exception, but it's
        hard to find the error if you can't find anything in the log. (
        in case
        of encoding exception)

        Is this so on purpose or is the error logged anywhere else (not
        obvious
        to me)?


    I think it that case we could wrap the UnsupportedEncodingException
    into a RuntimeException. We know that UTF-8 is always supported, and
    in case it is not there then something really strange is going on.

    My 2 cents.
