True, but not really relevant. There is no "encoding" of a String. Character encodings only come into play when you need to convert characters to bytes. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkogpegACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PD4lgCbBSEV0WAHYWIVpg5B+dUWsDAl AToAoLcB5Hg3T4/33+t0yoNy0xlFqlfO =siA+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
