Description:
Hello~?

I can found encoding protected field in connect J source code

-------------------- in source code -----------------
    /** Character Encoding */
    protected String encoding = null;
-----------------------------------------------------

but I can't find setEncoding and getEncoding method.

I want set encoding property

  MysqlDataSource mysqlDS= new MysqlDataSource();
  mysqlDS.setServerName("localhost");
  mysqlDS.setDatabaseName("test");
  mysqlDS.setUser("root");
  mysqlDS.setPassword("");

  mysqlDS.setEncoding("EUC-KR"); <---- this

 

How to repeat:
my web papge has broken string 

Suggested fix:
add getEncoding() method 

and

add setEncoding(String enc) method

You can set this property via the MysqlDataSource.setURL() property, however setting the default character set of your database correctly will allow the driver to automatically configure itself. You should only use the encoding property if you are trying to store a character set your given version of MySQL doesn't support (usually UTF-8 before MySQL-4.1.1).

MySQL-3.1.1 and newer allow direct access to this property.
