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.
