[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1772?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Bela Ban commented on JGRP-1772: -------------------------------- When writing a multi-byte string using {{DataOutput.writeUTF()}}, then {{size()}} is incorrect as it is {{str.length() +2}}. However, the {{length()}} method counts the number of characters only, not the number of bytes needed to write the string to the output stream. E.g. if we have a string whose 4 chars are all 2-byte values, then the current method would compute the requires bytes to be 6 (4 bytes + 2 for the length field), but effectively 10 bytes are written with {{writeUTF()}} (4 2-bytes values plus the 2 byte length field). I added {{Bits.sizeUTF()}} which computes the correct number of bytes. However, since we're getting rid of {{writeUTF()}} anyway, this probably doesn't need to be done, only for cases where we still use {{writeUTF()}}. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
