The following code does not work, and "UnsupportedEncodingException" occurs. Do you have any clue? Code: String name = new String("some text"); byte[] utf8 = null; utf8 = name.getBytes("UTF-8");

Correct code: Code: String name = "Sômé tèxt"; byte[] utf8 = null; try {  utf8 = name.getBytes("UTF-8"); } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {  println(e.getMessage()); } Note that new String("...") is redundant...
