How to support Big5 char set with JBossMQ

[albren]

Hi

I have a client application that can connect and send messages to a remote JBossMQ Server. This client application acts or serves as conduit between an application written in C++ and the JBoss.

My problem is that the C++ app send big5 string message to my jms client application. Then my jms client app sends to the JBossMQ Server.
My client jms app just receives the message in big5 and just send it right away. But when our MDB gets this message from the queue it is no longer in big5 format.

Where did I go wrong? Do I need to set or configure something in the server PC where my jms client is located? Our server is Linux and we already placed the lang support to big5. Also, all jboss client jars used for jms are already installed.

Please help me on this.

The internal transport representation for javax.jms.TextMessage is UTF. If you have captured the character data from the socket, which is what I assume you are using for talking with your C++ app, verify that you are constructing the string correctly.

Socket s;
byte b[] = new byte[1000];
s.getInputStream().read(b, 0, 1000);
String str = new String(b, "big5");

In other words, probably not a JMS bug.

Hi genman,

Thanks for this help. I will try it and give you feedback asap.
By the way, I am using the MapMessage and not the TextMessage, is it the same case?

Thanks in advanced.
