I now have FOP working on our OS/390.
My solution was to add a class called PDFConstants that only held a static
string variable for the encoding type.
All places in the code where there was a
str.getBytes();
I replaced with
try {
str.getBytes(PDFConstants.Encoding);
} catch ( UnsupportedEncodingException ue ) {
str.getBytes();
}
If there is a better way, please holler.
If this is an ok way to fix it, how do post the patches?
(never done this before on a public project like this )
Thanks, Jason

No, I think you're in the right place.

Ben Fowler posted a similar mail two days ago.

You're in the same boat. I think it would be good if you one of you two
could really track down the problem, create a patch for it and post it
to the list for inclusion into FOP along with some documentation
(guidelines) what has to be done to ensure non-ascii-environment
compatibility in FOP for the future.
