```
public StringCodecFactory(Map<String,StringCodec> codecs)
```
    Initialized a StringCodecFactory with the given and fixed StringCodec mappings.
    
    Parameters:
    
    codecs - a map of codecs to bind to their symbolic names. The map becomes immutable.
- Method Detail
  - getStringCodec
```
public StringCodec getStringCodec()
```
    Requests the default encoder to use.
    
    Returns:
    
    returns the fall-back or default encoder to use, or null if non was defined.
  - getStringCodec
```
public StringCodec getStringCodec(String encoding)
```
    Requests which encoder to use for the given symbolic name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    encoding - the symbolic name of the encoder that is requested
    
    Returns:
    
    the StringCodec to use, which might be a fall-back encoder or null if non was defined.
  - getStringCodec
```
public StringCodec getStringCodec(String encoding,
                                  String locale)
```
    Requests which encoder to use for the given symbolic name and locale. If a locale is defined as language_country, e.g. en_GB, it will first try language_country and then language.
    
    Parameters:
    
    encoding - the symbolic name of the encoder that is requested
    
    locale - the locale for the requested codec
    
    Returns:
    
    the StringCodec to use, which might be a fall-back encoder or null if non was defined.
