Make string2byte conversions indepedent of platform default encoding
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CODEC-73
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-73
Project: Commons Codec
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.3
Environment: any platform whose default encoding is not a superset of
ASCII, e.g. UTF-16 or EBCDIC
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Attachments: CODEC-73.patch
Both the library itself and many of its tests are utterly dependent on the
JVM's default charset. For example, {{DigestUtils}} calls {{String.getBytes()}}
to convert an input string to a byte array, happily delivering different
digests for the same input string if run on different platforms.
If you want to try out the havor yourself, just run the unit tests in a JVM
with UTF-16, e.g. by adding the line
{code:xml}
<argLine>-Dfile.encoding=UTF-16</argLine>
{code}
to the configuration of the Surefire Plugin in the POM.
