Mark Sinke commented on HTTPCLIENT-904:
---------------------------------------
Oleg, Ortwin,
Removing a throws specification would not break API compatability (not even
binary compatability, since the JVM never checks the throws spec anyway; that's
up to javac). So another option is to catch the exception and ignore it since
it cannot happen anyway.
Like this
try {
this.content = text.getBytes(charset.name());
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// cannot happen since charset was known in the first place
}
My calling code now essentially needs to do the code I just wrote, which is a
nuisance and will proliferate to all users of the library.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-904
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-904
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpMime
> Affects Versions: 4.0.1
> Reporter: Mark Sinke
>
> The string body constructors that take a charset unnecessarily throw
> UnsupportedEncodingException - if you have Charset, the encoding is by
> definition supported:
> public StringBody(
> final String text,
> final String mimeType,
> Charset charset) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
> super(mimeType);
> if (text == null) {
> throw new IllegalArgumentException("Text may not be null");
> }
> if (charset == null) {
> charset = Charset.defaultCharset();
> }
> this.content = text.getBytes(charset.name());
> this.charset = charset;
> }
>
> public StringBody(final String text, Charset charset) throws
> UnsupportedEncodingException {
> this(text, "text/plain", charset);
> }
>
> I suggest to change this to
> public StringBody(
> final String text,
> final String mimeType,
> Charset charset) {
> super(mimeType);
> if (text == null) {
> throw new IllegalArgumentException("Text may not be null");
> }
> if (charset == null) {
> charset = Charset.defaultCharset();
> }
> this.content = text.getBytes(charset);
> this.charset = charset;
> }
>
> public StringBody(final String text, Charset charset) {
> this(text, "text/plain", charset);
> }
> The important change is to change
> this.content = text.getBytes(charset.name());
> to
> this.content = text.getBytes(charset);
> which will not throw and hence the throws specifications can be removed.
