A +1 for Craig's comments. If there are users who still have 1.2 requirements going forward, I say should say to them, you need to take it upon yourself to make the case for an upgrade, or work actively in this community to write components that work with 1.2. The most important phrase in

Maybe this is what you were saying and I misunderstood you. Either way, it's painful to not be able to use 1.4, especially with 1.5's new tricks on the horizon. ;) I think I like your approach better even with the extra layer. Gary

I've been heavily reviewing the NIO api in 1.4 to understand more fully its capabilities. j2sdk nio provides Charsets (ServiceProviders, Encoders, Decoders) http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/nio/charset/package-summary.html

Does CharSet/Util's in [lang] approach a similar functionality to nio.charset? After reviewing the codebase, my viewpoint is no, as it is more for building charsets, than for using them (authors rebuttals always welcome). I'd also be interested to see if this functionality exists

Apologies, that was not intended for the entire list. But since it went there, may as well elaborate. The ChunkedInputStream used a call-back system to provide a data written to the stream back in consistently-sized chunks (except for the last data written, which would be sized appropriately).

I think the design of the codec framework could cover your requirements but it will require more functionality than it currently has. Some of the goals I was working towards were: 1. No memory allocation during streaming. This eliminates garbage collection during large conversions.
