Hi Matt,
Just this past week I ran into a problem using slightly different jdk versions on Solaris. One had the default character encoding as ISO-8859-1, the other had ISO-656-1. That was enough to break things for me. My solution was to use a Writer/OutputStream that allowed me to set the encoding type. It seems to me that jdk 1.2 used 8859-1 by default and it wasn't possible to change the encoding. With jdk 1.4, there are a number of the java.net and java.io classes that let you specify the encoding.
Hope this helps!

Ack! I am in the final stages of I/O redirection. In fact, I was about to commit my changes when I cross-tested my last test case--transcoding--and found that it fails on Solaris with Sun JDK 1.4.2, but passes with Sun JDK 1.2.2. Does anyone have any helpful information on this phenomenon? Input encoding seems to be okay, but whenever I try to write output with a particular encoding, the results are not what I expect. Often the resulting files are the wrong size, but sometimes they are the right size with the wrong content as well. Obviously since my code is nowhere accessible I'm not looking for specific help (yet)... just if anyone knows of any common pitfalls I'd love to hear about them.
Thanks, Matt
