BELUGA BEHR created THRIFT-4709:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Use StandardCharset UTF-8
                 Key: THRIFT-4709
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4709
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
            Reporter: BELUGA BEHR


AS I understand it, starting with Java 1.7, all JVM must support the UTF-8 charset.  Prior to JDK 7, it was required to do something like:

{code:java|title=TJSONProtocol.java}
    try {
      byte[] buf = str.getBytes("UTF-8");
      trans_.write(buf);
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException uex) {
      throw new TException("JVM DOES NOT SUPPORT UTF-8");
    }
{code}

However, now there is available {{java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets}} which provides the required charsets and therefore there is no longer a need to do a try/catch to encode/decode Strings and UTF-8 byte arrays.  This will save on lines of code and removes the overhead of the try/catch block.
