Exception during vlib JBoss install (3.0-beta-1a)

[Drew Davidson <dr...@ognl.org>]

I'm using JDK1.4.1_02 and when I try to deploy to JBoss it complains 
about not finding encoding "Cp1252".

I poked around and found that the vlibbeans.jar contains two files that 
declare <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Cp1252"?>

I don't know if JDK1.4.1_02 changed something wrt encoding handling or 
if it's my Xalan/Xerces installation (I've updated them both to the 
latest versions using the jre/lib/endorsed mechanism).  I've found the 
XML parsing and XSLT to be the most fragile aspect of the newer JDKs.

Anyway I changed vlib.ear/vlibbeans.jar/meta-inf/jboss.xml and 
vlib.ear/vlibbeans.jar/meta-inf/jbosscmp-jdbc.xml to remove the encoding 
business, re-jar'd the vlibbeans.jar, re-jar'd the vlib.ear and it 
worked fine.

Perhaps the distribution ought to be changed, if this encoding is not 
important.
