JWebmail compiled error in build.xml.

Hi,

Does anyone know how to fix the following error? I try to install
JWebmail in FreeBSD 5.2 Current.

Thanks

Which class did you mean? Since the goofs reused the class name, you
must spell it out longhand:

instanceof org.w3c.dom.CharaterData
or
instanceof java.lang.CharacterData

URLEncoder.encode(new String(name.getBytes("UTF-8"), "ISO8859_1")));

URLEncoder is for Strings with few awkward chars. To send arbitrary
bytes you need something a bit more heavy duty. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/armouring.html

Further, URLEncoder should always be used with UTF-8. You have tried
to use it with ISO8859_1.

if name is a String, what you should have written is:

String send = URLEncoder.encode( name, "UTF-8" );

if name is a byte array, you should have written:

String send = URLEncoder.encode( new String( name, "UTF-8" ),
"UTF-8");


if name is something else that can be converted to byte array you
should have written.


String send = URLEncoder.encode( new String( name.toBytes(), "UTF-8"
), "UTF-8");

But this is not what URLEncoder is for. Try the Base64u or the
Wrapper, both described at http://mindprod.com/jgloss/armouring.html
