系统变量file.encoding对Java的运行影响有多大?(转)good

这个话题来自: Nutz的issue 361

在考虑这个issue时, 我一直倾向于使用系统变量file.encoding来改变JVM的默认编码.

今天,我想到, 这个系统变量,对JVM的影响到底有多大呢? 我使用最简单的方法看看这个变量的影响--在JDK 1.6.0_20的src.zip文件中,查找包含file.encoding字眼的文件. 共找到4个, 分别是: 先上重头戏 java.nio.Charset类:

    public static Charset defaultCharset() { if (defaultCharset == null) { synchronized (Charset.class) { java.security.PrivilegedAction pa = new GetPropertyAction("file.encoding"); String csn = (String)AccessController.doPrivileged(pa); Charset cs = lookup(csn); if (cs != null) defaultCharset = cs; else defaultCharset = forName("UTF-8"); } } return defaultCharset; }

java.net.URLEncoder的静态构造方法,影响到的方法 java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String)

    static { dontNeedEncoding = new BitSet(256); int i; for (i = 'a'; i < = 'z'; i++) { dontNeedEncoding.set(i); } for (i = 'A'; i <= 'Z'; i++) { dontNeedEncoding.set(i); } for (i = '0'; i <= '9'; i++) { dontNeedEncoding.set(i); } dontNeedEncoding.set(' '); /* encoding a space to a + is done * in the encode() method */ dontNeedEncoding.set('-'); dontNeedEncoding.set('_'); dontNeedEncoding.set('.'); dontNeedEncoding.set('*'); dfltEncName = (String)AccessController.doPrivileged ( new GetPropertyAction("file.encoding") ); }

com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.Encoding的getMimeEncoding方法(209行起)

    static String getMimeEncoding(String encoding) { if (null == encoding) { try { // Get the default system character encoding. This may be // incorrect if they passed in a writer, but right now there // seems to be no way to get the encoding from a writer. encoding = System.getProperty("file.encoding", "UTF8"); if (null != encoding) { /* * See if the mime type is equal to UTF8. If you don't * do that, then convertJava2MimeEncoding will convert * 8859_1 to "ISO-8859-1", which is not what we want, * I think, and I don't think I want to alter the tables * to convert everything to UTF-8. */ String jencoding = (encoding.equalsIgnoreCase("Cp1252") || encoding.equalsIgnoreCase("ISO8859_1") || encoding.equalsIgnoreCase("8859_1") || encoding.equalsIgnoreCase("UTF8")) ? DEFAULT_MIME_ENCODING : convertJava2MimeEncoding(encoding); encoding = (null != jencoding) ? jencoding : DEFAULT_MIME_ENCODING; } else { encoding = DEFAULT_MIME_ENCODING; } } catch (SecurityException se) { encoding = DEFAULT_MIME_ENCODING; } }

最后一个javax.print.DocFlavor类的静态构造方法:

    static { hostEncoding = (String)java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged( new sun.security.action.GetPropertyAction("file.encoding")); }

可以看到,系统变量file.encoding影响到
1. Charset.defaultCharset() Java环境中最关键的编码设置
2. URLEncoder.encode(String) Web环境中最常遇到的编码使用
3. com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.Encoding 影响对无编码设置的xml文件的读取
4. javax.print.DocFlavor 影响打印的编码

故,影响还是很大的哦, 可以说是Java中编码的一个关键钥匙!
