How to convert EBCDIC in JDK1.3?

[jacksu]

In JDK1.5, I found that Cp1047 is great enough to handle EBCDIC char
set. But our running environment is still in JDK1.3, and it can't find
Cp1047 converter class.

java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: Cp1047
at sun.io.Converters.getConverterClass(Converters.java:102)
at sun.io.Converters.newConverter(Converters.java:131)
at
sun.io.CharToByteConverter.getConverter(CharToByteConverter.java:62)
at java.lang.String.getCTBConverter(String.java:217)
at java.lang.String.getBytes(String.java:740)


Any suggestion?

Thanks.

BTW, I am using IBMWebsphere 5.0.2, it is using JDK1.3 underhood.

Any suggestion are highly welcome.

My Java1.3.1 supports Cp500 (a very common EBCDIC variant).
The implementing classes (sun.io.ByteToCharCp500 and sun.io.CharToByteCp500)
are in "i18n.jar".
