String charsets in GWT client code

[vmnikulin]

Hi all!

The document http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/RefJreEmulation.html
says that the GWT supports constructor String(byte[] bytes, String
charsetName) .
But when I try to use it with charset Windows-1251 (cp866 etc - this
charsets include non-ASCII symbols) in production mode on tomcat, I
get JS exception.

What is it?

Thanks in advance.

The only supported charsets are UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1.

new String(new byte[] { 0xC3, 0xA9 }, "UTF-8") => "é"

new String(new byte[] { 0xE9 }, "ISO-8859-1") => "é"
