      In general the method `IEncodingFactory.getEncodingForCharset(java.nio.charset.Charset, Encoding)` should be used.

      Don't confuse this method with `IEncodingFactory.getEncodingForCharset(Charset)`, which falls back to the default encoding.

      Parameters:
        `charsetAlias` - The Java character set name or alias
        `fallbackEncoding` - The Encoding to use as fallback if no encoding is found (usually the connection encoding). If `null`, the defaultEncoding for the JVM is used.

      Description copied from interface: `IEncodingFactory`
      Gets or creates an `EncodingDefinition` for the supplied Firebird encoding and Java charset.

      When `firebirdEncodingName` is not null and `javaCharsetAlias` is null, then the encoding definition as returned by `IEncodingFactory.getEncodingDefinitionByFirebirdName(String)` is returned. For the reverse (`firebirdEncodingName` is null and `javaCharsetAlias` isn't), the encoding definition as returned by `IEncodingFactory.getEncodingDefinitionByCharsetAlias(String)` is returned.

      When both parameters are set, the result of `IEncodingFactory.getEncodingDefinitionByFirebirdName(String)` is returned if the character set matches, otherwise a new `DefaultEncodingDefinition` is created based on its information, but with the specified character set. This can be useful for attempting to fix encoding issues in Firebird.

      If either of the parameters cannot be resolved, to an EncodingDefinition or `Charset`, or the EncodingDefinition is information-only - with the exception of Firebird encoding NONE - and no Java Charset is specified, then null is returned.

      Specified by:
        `getEncodingDefinition` in interface `IEncodingFactory`
      Parameters:
        `firebirdEncodingName` - Name of the Firebird encoding, or null to defer decision to the java Charset alias
        `javaCharsetAlias` - Alias of the Java character set, or null to defer decision to the Firebird encoding
      Returns:
        An EncodingDefinition or null if both parameters are null, no encoding was found or if an exception occurred.
