java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider: Provider sun.nio.cs.ext.ExtendedCharsets not found in JBoss EAP 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We need to load a custom character set and for this purpose we are using the Java java.util.ServiceLoader to load the class java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider but the call
ServiceLoader.load(CharsetProvider.class)
~~

It throws this exception:

Caused by: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: java.nio.charset.spi.CharsetProvider: Provider sun.nio.cs.ext.ExtendedCharsets not found
