Hi,

the default content marshalling for java.lang.String in the Provider org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.providers.StringTextStar is done without specifying the charset. I have spent some time today searching for a bug in my application which behaved differently depending on the plattform which is because the plattform's default encoding is used.

Would it make sense for the StringTextStar Provider to use the charset as specified in @Consumes or @Produces (e.g. "application/xml; charset=UTF-8")? Of course, I could use the InputStreamProvider and take care of the encoding but that's not convenient compared to working with Strings. For now I have just changed my plattform's default encoding.

Thanks,
Christian
