    Changing the encoding of the data from a s:fileUpload

      Hi,


      I have a little problem with fileUpload:


      I am uploading text files, which are encoded by the microsoft legacy encoding windows-1252, and I need them in the default UTF8 or whatever Java uses.


      My fileUpload is defined as this:


      <h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <s:fileUpload data="#{fileStaff.data}" contentType="#{fileStaff.contentType}"
        fileName="#{fileStaff.fileName}" accept="text/csv" />
      </h:form>



      I am using the byte array version to save my data:


      private byte[] csvData = null;



      and then converting it to a char array to have it read by a BufferedReader:


      char[] chars = new char[bytes.length];
      for(int i=0; i<bytes.length; i++)
        { chars[i] = (char) bytes[i]; }
      bR = new BufferedReader(new CharArrayReader(chars));



      Where can the encoding be changed easily or at all?


      Thanks in advance, Peter
