Could you, at least, use the test case that I sent for the ecs test cases?
I would like to ensure that multibyte character handling works after whatever
patch is applied.
As the test case has not been submitted to this list, I send it again here:
import org.apache.ecs.*;
/**
* Test for multibyte character handling in ECS
* @author <A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">S. Gala</A>
*/
public class TestECSPrinting {
public static void main( String[] argv ) {
String test = "" + (char)0x0432; // Small RUSSIAN B in Unicode
StringElement testecs = new StringElement(test);
if( test.indexOf( test ) >= 0 )
System.err.println("It contains SMALL RUSSIAN B before");
if( testecs.toString().indexOf( test ) >= 0 )
System.err.println("It contains SMALL RUSSIAN B after toString()");
if( testecs.toString("utf-8").indexOf( test ) >= 0 )
System.err.println("It contains SMALL RUSSIAN B after toString(\"utf-8\")");
}
}
As far as I know, the three tests should succeed, no matter the parameter you
pass to the toString(). A String is a String, no matter the encoding. Encodings
belong to bytes, and I don't want bytes in a toString() method. If the
StringElement used bytes internally, it would make sense, but in this case you
would have to specify the encoding in the constructor, to enable the system to
store the bytes internally.
Regards,
Santiago
