Java system prop question.

[pinto]

Guys,
What do you mean by this line in a java startup script: What will be
the result of using this line:
sun.io.unicode.encoding=UnicodeLittle

Regards,
Pinto

What do you mean by this line in a java startup script: What will be
the result of using this line: sun.io.unicode.encoding=UnicodeLittle

It's a system property that determines the correct platform dependent
byte ordering to use when converting between byte[] and unicode
characters.

Since it belongs to the "sun" package, it's not part of any public
interface, and consequently nothing you really need to care about.

Looks as an undocumented feature to get SUN Java to read/write UTF-16 as
little endian.

Should be easy to check.
