[jira] Commented: (MYFACES-230) Support UTF-8 encoded property files, allow caching of properties

Kalle Korhonen commented on MYFACES-230:
----------------------------------------

The patch breaks characters represented with full 8-bits in Latin-1 character set for obvious reasons (while the actual character code is the same in both Latin-1 and UTF-8, only 7-bit ASCII characters are encoded as a single byte in UTF-8). So patch is invalid, need to re-think the approach. Could keep the issue open though if committers think this functionality is useful to add.

> Struts supports UTF-8 encoded property files and caching of property values with its PropertyMessageResources class. MyFaces uses standard Java ResourceBundle and its PropertyResourceBundle, which only allows Latin-1 encoded property files. Adding a ResourceBundle wrapper that allows UTF-8 encoded property files doesn't break anything since all UTF-8 encoded single byte characters are in the same positions as in Latin-1 encoding. I'll add a patch to this bug that contains a ResourceBundle wrapper and necessary changes to take it into use.
