[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (ISPN-880) Hash impls use String.getBytes(), may get non UTF8 bytes

Hash impls use String.getBytes(), may get non UTF8 bytes -------------------------------------------------------- Key: ISPN-880 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-880 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Bug Components: Distributed Cache Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Final Reporter: Patrick McFarland Assignee: Manik Surtani Fix For: 4.2.1.Final According to Sun's Java docs, String.getBytes() will return bytes in the platform's native encoding, which may not be UTF-8. Cross platform (or same platforms configured differently) may end up with problems in the same cluster. The fix seems to be replace all String.getBytes() uses with String.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8")) to always force UTF-8 conversion. This bug may also apply to other unrelated places in Infinispan, I haven't checked.
