A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
With the following sample, if it is going to change into String Object from a byte sequence, an exception( java.lang.IllegalArgumentException ) will occur. Originally it changes into REPLACEMENT CHARACTER ?

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

public class EUC_JP_LinuxTest {

/**
*
* @param str
* @throws Exception
*/
public static void main(String[] str) throws Exception {
byte b[][] =
{{(byte) 0x8f, (byte) 0xa2, (byte) 0xb7},};//JISX2012 CHARACTER

String[] testencoding = {
"EUC_JP_LINUX",
};
int len = testencoding.length;
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
String[] s = createStringArray(b, testencoding[i]);
}
}

/**
* @param b
* @param encode
* @param lens
* @return @throws
* UnsupportedEncodingException
*/
private static String[] createStringArray(byte[][] b, String encode)
throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
int lens = b.length;

String[] s = new String[lens];
for (int i = 0; i < lens; i++) {
s[i] = new String(b[i], encode);
}
return s;
}
}
