http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28455 Hex converts illegal characters to 255 Summary: Hex converts illegal characters to 255 Product: Commons Version: 1.2 Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Codec AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List: jakarta-commons-dev Subject: [codec] Proposal for improvement Hex codec From: Tom van den Berge <tom.vandenberge () bibit ! com> Date: 2004-04-15 8:49:31 Message-ID: <407E4C9B.5070701 () bibit ! com> [Download message RAW] I'm using the Hex codec to decode e.g. the string "qq". What surprises me is that this obviously illegal hex value is decoded into one byte value 255. In fact all non-hex 'character-pairs' are decoded to value 255. Wouldn't it be better to throw a DecoderException if illegal characters are passed in? The current implementation decodes values that is is actually not able to decode, which is wrong.
