ResourceScriptSource uses platform default charset (getScriptAsString) [SPR-6794]

[spring-projects-issues]

Andrew Fink opened SPR-6794 and commented

ResourceScriptSource uses platform default charset (see getScriptAsString).
It is bad practice because script isn't java source file, which will be compiled to Unicode.
Usually developer use Windows for development and linux&Co for production.
So default charset is very different!

ResourceScriptSource should have some property for this or use UTF-8 - the best charset for resources.

Hi Andrey,

I've changed the default encoding to UTF-8 and added a setter in case that's not suitable for ResourceScriptSource. The option is not exposed in the lang namespace but one can configured this accordingly directly through raw XML.
