Gary Gregory commented on IO-363:
---------------------------------
If you really want to pass in null, then you can say:
{code:java}
FileUtils.readFileToString(new File("myFile"), (String)null)
{code}
This is better IMO:
{code:java}
FileUtils.readFileToString(new File("myFile"), Charset.defaultCharset())
{code}
> FileUtils.readFileToString((new File("myFile"), null) produces the following
> compilation error

> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Peter Warde
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.4
>
>
> org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.readFileToString(new File("myFile"), null) in
> 2.4 produces the following compilation error "The method
> readFileToString(File, Charset) is ambiguous for the type FileUtils", even
> though the javadoc says "encoding - the encoding to use, null means platform
> default".
> This is due to FileUtils having 2 readFileToString methods -
> readFileToString(File file, Charset encoding) and readFileToString(File file,
> String encoding)
