http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30334 [lang] New interface CharacterEncodingNames proposal ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-07-27 07:59 ------- IMHO: 1) This should be a class, not an interface. Interfaces represent an API to an object, not a set of constants. (see SystemUtils) 2) These constants could fit on SystemUtils, eg ENCODING_UTF_8. OR The class name should be changed (it doesn't scan well due to the plural, CharacterEncodingNames.UTF_8 kindof implies UTF8 is multiple names. 3) I believe that there is a problem with encoding names in some earlier JDKs, where you must use "UTF8" not "UTF-8". I believe all accept the short form. 4) Maybe a new class here does make sense if we add methods to it. public class CharacterEncodingUtils { // constants public static final UTF_8 = "UTF8" // methods public static String changeEncoding(str, from, to); } ... } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
