CharsetProvider

CharsetProvider

java.nio.charset.spi

Java 1.4

System programmers developing new Charset implementations should implement this class to make those charsets available to the system. charsetForName( ) should return a Charset instance for the given name . charsets( ) should return a java.util.Iterator that allows the caller to iterate through the set of Charset objects defined by the provider.

A CharsetProvider and its associated Charset implementations should be packaged in a JAR file and made available to the system in the jre/lib/ext/ extensions directory (or some other extensions location.) The JAR file should contain a file named META-INF/services/java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider which contains the class name of the CharsetProvider implementation.

 public abstract class  CharsetProvider  {  // Protected Constructors  protected  CharsetProvider  ( );  // Public Instance Methods  public abstract java.nio.charset.Charset  charsetForName  (String  charsetName  );      public abstract java.util.Iterator<java.nio.charset.Charset>  charsets  ( );   }
