Problems with UTF-8 encoding.

[Mayank Agarwal <ma...@persistent.co.in>]

Hi all,

I am having a problem with UTF-8 encoded characters (for eg: "¥").
When I send it as a message to the queue and then receive it, I get a value that
is not the correct interpretation of that character.
Is there some encoding problem with ActiveMQ or am I missing something?
Should I convert it to some other Character set?

Please help me out.

Regards,
Mayank

Hi Raul,

Mayank  is not the only one with the problem.

For example I use JMS native client to send a message and then consume it
via the REST API.

I post object messages like so: 
/ObjectMessage message = session.createObjectMessage(new
String(mystring.getBytes("UTF-8")));/
/producer.send(message);/

I do not use textMessages because, when I consume, the REST API removes
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>" from my XML, so I
post object messages.

If I use curl as follows:
curl -XGET
"http://<myhost>:8161/api/message/<myqueue>?type=queue&oneShot=true" -v -o
output.txt

I get always my charectars (tried: é,è,ç,à,ù) except for the euro sign "€"
which is something I am trying to use. The euro sign appears in hexadicimal!

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

If you can post the producer and consumer code, plus the AMQ configuration
(removing any details that cannot go public), we can analyse further.

What message type are you sending? TextMessage? And how are you generating
and reading the String?

Hello Raul,
Thanks for the reply.

It is still giving me the same problem. Any other points that I need to take
care of?

Make sure you are passing the file.encoding parameter as a JVM option in
the startup script.

-Dfile.encoding="UTF-8"
