I am in Germany so I have to build programs which are able
to work with
  the German umlaute like ae, oe,ue.. (\144,\166,\174). (HTML ä
ö..)
  I am able to write this chars with my keyboard ( compose a", compose
o"..)
  in a xterm or any other X application but not in a Java Program.
  The input field is a TextField.
  In a applet I dont test it. (Netscape is able to work with umlaute)
  If I write a umlaut in a xterm window and copy it in a Java TextField
I am able
  to insert suche a char.
 
  A other BUG is in the java.net.URLEncoder.encode class because this
look only
  for the ASCII value from 0..256 (dontNeedEncoding = new BitSet(256);)
 
  I do a print out with this lines :
  for (int ii = 0; ii < schauspieler.length(); ii++)
  {
    int cc = (int)schauspieler.charAt(ii);
    System.out.println(ii+" - "+schauspieler.charAt(ii)+"-"+cc);
  }
   and get this result :
 
  0 - ?-65508
  1 - ?-65526
  2 - ?-65532
  3 - ?-65476
  4 - ?-65494
  5 - ?-65500
  6 - ?-65503
 
  for the chars &auml;&ouml;&uuml;&Auml;&Ouml;&Uuml;&szig;
 
  I think here a a lot of thinks to solve....
 
  I view the Java SRC src/java/net/URLEncoder.java and wonder that this
routine
  dont get a array outof bound exception ?
