I am try to pull out byte data from a source, encrypt it, and then store it in the file system.

For encryption, I am using jasypt and the BasicTextEncryptor class. And for storing on to the file system, I am using Apache’s Commons IOUtils class.

When required, these files will be decrypted and then sent to the user’s browser. This system works on my local machine where the default charset is MacRoman, but it fails on the server where the default charset is UTF-8.

When I explicitly set the encoding at each stage of the process to use MacRoman it works on the server as well, but I am skeptical about doing this as rest of my code uses UTF8.

Is there a way that I can work the code without conversion to MacRoman?

    You should just use UTF8 everywhere.

    As long as you use the same encoding at each end of an operation (and as long as the encoding can handle all of the characters you need), you’ll be fine.
