Description
We have found worse performance of isSupported with "JISAutoDetect".

REPRODUCE :
   1) Compile the attached test program
   2) Launch "java isSupportedTest1"
   
  We can see the result of execution(elapse) time as follows.

  case5:24626
  case6:24545

  This is done in 1.4.2_05.

Comments
EVALUATION JISAutoDetect is not a supported charset in 1.4.2, whereas in 1.5 it is. If I modify the testcase and use an unsupported charset and run with 1.5, then it takes a longer time in 1.5 also. So the behavior is same in both 1.4.2 & 1.5 with respect to unsupported charsets. To avoid this performance bottleneck, we will have to backport support for JISAutoDetect. I will have to check if we can backport this. ###@###.### 2005-2-24 11:43:37 GMT As per the documentation JISAutoDetect is part of Extended Encoding Set, which is supported only by java.io and java.lang APIs and not by java.nio APIs. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html Which means, JISAutoDetect is a valid encoding supported by Java but can not be accessed via the NIO API which the test case does. It can be closed as not a bug. ###@###.### 2005-04-18 12:37:34 GMT
