Unicode support in C++ clients

Hi,

 

I am getting problems in sending or receiving Unicode messages. Could
someone please tell me how can I implement this correctly.

 

Message contains some Greek characters. I am using wide string or wide
character array to represent this message in my C++ application. I am
using "TextMessage" for normal strings. setText() method takes only
std::string or char*, so I can't add wstring or wchar_t*.

 

In order to accommodate these Unicode characters in the message do I
need to use any other type of messages (like ByteMessage or MapMessage).
If so could someone help me with some sample code snippet.

 

Note: I am using ActiveMQ-CPP 3.4.0 

 

Thanks & Regards

Suneel

We use UTF-8 successfully in ActiveMQ's TextMessage since activemq-cpp-3.0.x.
In particular, we UTF-8 between C++ and Java clients.

You need to encode your text as UTF-8 before placing it into the
TextMessage, then it should be received correctly by other clients.
