I've encountered a strange problem in a Grails webapp running under Grails:

java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException is thrown quite frequently due to various unknown encoding strings (such as "ISO8859_10", "ISO-8859-10"), and the strange thing is that this is done entirely within the Resin and Grails code. That is - no custom code is involved when the exception is thrown.

I'm not sure if it is Grails or the servlet container's code that should handle the exception. But I'd assume that the exception should be handled somewhere and not bubble up all the way to stderr.

This is the exception in full:

  at org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.doGet(FrameworkServlet.java:552)
  at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:114)

My questions:

  • Should the exception be handled? If so, is it the responsibility of the servlet container (Resin) or the web framework (Grails)?
  • How would you go about solving this? (I'd rather not having the exception log cluttered with exceptions that I can do nothing about.)
