JbossTextMessage Unicode convert failed in Linux - unicode

Question

I'm trying to upload a xml (UTF-8) file and post it on a Jboss MQ. When reading the file from the listener UTF-8 characters are not correctly formatted ONLY in the Jboss (jboss-5.1.0.GA-3) instance running on Linux.
For an instance: BORÅS is converted to BOR¿S at Linux jboss instance.
When I copy and configure the same jboss instance to run at Windows (SP3) it works perfectly.
Also I have change the default setting in Linux by including JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 in .bashrc and run.sh files.
inside the Listener JbossTextMessage.getText() is coming with incorrectly specified character.
Any suggestions or workarounds ?

Answer 1

Finally I was able to find a solution, BUT the solution is still a blackbox. If anyone have the answer to WHY it has failed/successful please update the thread.
Solution at a glance :
1. Captured the file contents as a byte arry and wrote it to a xml file in jboss tmp folder using FileOutputStream
When posting to the jboss Message queue, I used the explicitly wrote xml file (1st step) using a FileInputStream as a byte array and pass it as the Message body.
Code example:
View: JSP page with a FormFile
Controller Class :UploadAction.java
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
...........
writeInitFile(theForm.getFile().getFileData()); // Obtain the uploaded file
Message msg = messageHelper.createMessage( readInitFile() ); // messageHelper is a customized factory method to create Message objects. Passing the newly
wrote file's byte array.
messageHelper.sendMsg(msg); // posting in the queue
...........
}
private void writeInitFile(byte[] fileData) throws Exception{
File someFile = new File("/jboss-5.1.0.GA-3/test/server/default/tmp/UploadTmp.xml"); // Write the uploaded file into a temporary file in jboss/tmp folder
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(someFile);
fos.write( fileData );
fos.flush();
fos.close();
}
private byte[] readInitFile() throws Exception{
StringBuilder buyteArray=new StringBuilder();
File someFile = new File("/jboss-5.1.0.GA-3/test/server/default/tmp/UploadTmp.xml"); // Read the Newly created file in jboss/tmp folder
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(someFile);
int ch;
while( (ch = fstream.read()) != -1){
buyteArray.append((char)ch);
}
fstream.close();
return buyteArray.toString().getBytes(); // return the byte []
}
Foot Note: I think it is something to do with the Linux/Windows default file saving type. eg: Windows default : ANSI.
