Thanks Alan

But confused, I think 7130915 is the problem I'm having however it isn't 
fixed in the latest version of 7u12 (build 2) according to my testing.
Maybe it is fixed in a as yet unreleased build of 7u12, unfortunately I 
was looking to do a release within a couple of weeks assuming so may 
have to ship with 7u10 (looks like should be released about then) is 
there a workaround
I can use in the meantime, does this  sun.jnu.encoding workaround fix 
this issue, I'm using appbundler rather than webstart so I assume I can 
use this if it works.

I cannot even find 8003228 in the bug tracker.
