>             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.
