Class ReportEncoder

  • public final class ReportEncoder
extends java.lang.Object
    The ReportEncoder class provides static methods to decode and encode data.

    The methods in this class are substitutes for java.net.URLEncoder.encode() and java.net.URLDecoder.decode().

    The de- and encoding uses the same coding mechanism as JavaScript, special characters are replaced with %hex where hex is a two digit hex number.

    Note: On the client side (browser) instead of using corresponding escape and unescape JavaScript functions, better use encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent functions which are work properly with unicode characters. These functions are supported in IE 5.5+ and NS 6+ only.

        encoding - the charset to encode the result with\
        Returns:

      • createString

        public static java.lang.String createString​(byte[] bytes,
                                            java.lang.String encoding)
        Creates a String out of a byte array with the specified encoding, falling back to the system default in case the encoding name is not valid.

        Use this method as a replacement for new String(byte[], encoding) to avoid possible encoding problems.

        Parameters:
        bytes - the bytes to decode
        encoding - the encoding scheme to use for decoding the bytes
        Returns:
        the bytes decoded to a String

      • decode

        public static java.lang.String decode​(java.lang.String source)
        Decodes a String using UTF-8 encoding, which is the standard for http data transmission with GET ant POST requests.

        source - the String to decode
        Returns:
        String the decoded source String

      • decode

        This method is a substitute for URLDecoder.decode().

        In case you don't know what encoding to use, set the value of the encoding parameter to null. This method will then default to UTF-8 encoding, which is probably the right one.

        Parameters:
        source - The string to decode
        encoding - The encoding to use (if null, the system default is used)
        Returns:
        The decoded source String

        Encodes all characters that are contained in the String which can not displayed in the given encodings charset with HTML entity references like €.

        This is required since a Java String is internally always stored as Unicode, meaning it can contain almost every character, but the HTML charset used might not support all such characters.

        Parameters:
        input - the input to encode for HTML
        encoding - the charset to encode the result with
        Returns:
        the input with the encoded HTML entities

                                                  java.lang.String encoding)
        Encodes all characters that are contained in the String which can not displayed in the given encodings charset with Java escaping like €.

        This can be used to escape values used in Java property files.

        Parameters:
        input - the input to encode for Java
        encoding - the charset to encode the result with
        Returns:
        the input with the encoded Java entities

      • encodeParameter

        public static java.lang.String encodeParameter​(java.lang.String input)
        Encodes a string used as parameter in an uri in a way independent of other encodings/decodings applied later.

        Used to ensure that GET parameters are not wrecked by wrong or incompatible configuration settings. In order to ensure this, the String is first encoded with html entities for any character that cannot encoded in US-ASCII; additionally, the plus sign is also encoded to avoid problems with the white-space replacer. Finally, the entity prefix is replaced with characters not used as delimiters in urls.

        Parameters:
        input - the parameter string
        Returns:
        the encoded parameter string

      • lookupEncoding

        public static java.lang.String lookupEncoding​(java.lang.String encoding,
                                              java.lang.String fallback)
        Checks if a given encoding name is actually supported, and if so resolves it to it's canonical name, if not it returns the given fallback value.

        Charsets have a set of aliases. For example, valid aliases for "UTF-8" are "UTF8", "utf-8" or "utf8". This method resolves any given valid charset name to it's "canonical" form, so that simple String comparison can be used when checking charset names internally later.

        Please see http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets for a list of valid charset alias names.

        Parameters:
