[dbforms] dbforms 2.2 NOT running yet with JDK 1.3

[Roberto Bagnoli]

Hi Henner,
as i promise you last week i've tested the new CVS snapshot
of dbforms 2.2 with Eclipse + jdk 1.3.1 + Tomcat 4.1.29.
There is still a little problem with the 1.3 compatibility
patch code into the org.dbforms.util.Util class: when running
on a late JVM (before 1.4), the methods encCheck() and decCheck()
rise a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError and NOT a
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException, so the encode() and
decode() methods cannot catch it!
Current method implementation:

public static final String encode(String s, String enc) throws 
UnsupportedEncodingException {
      if (!Util.isNull(s)) {
         try {
            s = encCheck(s, enc);
         } catch (NoSuchMethodException nsme) {
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
            s = URLEncoder.encode(s);
         }
      }

      return s;
   }
must be turned to:

public static final String encode(String s, String enc) throws 
UnsupportedEncodingException {
      if (!Util.isNull(s)) {
         try {
            s = encCheck(s, enc);
         } catch (NoSuchMethodError nsme) {
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
            s = URLEncoder.encode(s);
         }
      }

      return s;
   }
The same, obviously, for the decode() method.

After this change, dbforms successfully run on JDK 1.3, as
i could test on my CVS snapshot.
Hope this could help

Cheers
Roberto
