		<description><![CDATA[Jersey is the reference implementation of JSR 311, the specification for creating RESTful web services on the Java platform. NetBeans 6.1, the existing, current version of NetBeans, contains a copy of the Jersey library, but it may be outdated now. Recently, the Jersey implementation reached version 1.0, and NetBeans 6.1 contains a copy of an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, I&#8217;ve helped many organizations internationalize their software products. One of the most common misunderstandings is how Unicode will help their product. Customers sometimes mistakenly believe that Unicode support will be sufficient to internationalize their products. Sometimes they believe that Unicode &#8220;support&#8221; is a single, yes-no, on-off ability, when instead Unicode support is [...]]]></description>

This particular standard assigns a unique number to every character used around the globe, regardless of written and spoken language, computing platform, or application. Unicode includes all the characters used from other more limited character sets. Prior to Unicode, smaller character sets assigned character values differently from each other. [...]]]></description>

As you pass data from the browser to the application server to the database, opportunities for data loss lurk. I highlighted some of those conversion points earlier, but I neglected a browser issue. The JavaScript layer has its own lossy points of interest. One of those points is the escape function.

In this example, a hello.html document says &#8220;Hello&#8221; when you click a button. The button calls a snippet of JavaScript (the sayHello function) to display an [...]]]></description>
