[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (BVAL-236) Fails to load META-INF/services provider configuration files on non-ASCII platforms

Fails to load META-INF/services provider configuration files on non-ASCII platforms ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: BVAL-236 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-236 Project: Bean Validation Issue Type: Bug Components: ri-general - obsolete go to HValidator Affects Versions: 1.0 final Reporter: Paul Vonnahme Labels: EBCDIC,, UTF-8, Validation, Fix For: 1.1 Original Estimate: 0.5h Remaining Estimate: 0.5h I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this issue, but I didn't see anything under HValidator about ri. This bug exists in the maven artifact {code} <dependency> <groupId>javax.validation</groupId> <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId> <version>1.0.0.GA</version> </dependency> {code} If there is a newer version that fixes this bug I apologize. In any case, in the jar above, the issue occurs in javax.validation.Validation$DefaultValidationProviderResolver.getValidationProviders Line 322 has: {code} BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( stream ), 100 ); {code} but I believe it should be: {code} BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( stream, "UTF-8"), 100 ); {code} In order to work on non-ASCII platforms (EBCDIC in my case) From http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html#Pr... Provider-Configuration File A service provider identifies itself... The file must be encoded in UTF-8.
