Method Details

toCharset

public Charset toCharset()
                  throws UnsupportedCharsetException

Converts the Character Set to a java Charset, if it can.

Returns:

The Java Charset.

Throws:

UnsupportedCharsetException - If no support for the charset is available.

See Also:

• Supported encodings

names

public String[] names()

Returns all the names of this code. The returned array contains the following elements, with duplicated values and null values removed:

• The programmatic name

• The charset name

Those names are typically equal except for the case (programmatic names are upper case while UML names are lower case) and special characters like '-'.

Overrides:

names in class CodeList<CharacterSet>

Returns:

All names of this code constant. This array is never null and never empty.
