Sebb resolved CODEC-164. ------------------------ Resolution: Invalid The test code uses UTF-8 to convert the input string to bytes: inputBuffer = input.getBytes("UTF-8"); but then uses the default encoding to convert the bytes back to a string: value = bos.toString(); // <== default used here System.out.println("Decompressed String :-"+value); Changing this to value = bos.toString("UTF-8"); fixes the issue. As the source file is actually in ISO-8859-1 the test should actually be using that for the byte<=>String conversions. This also fixes the issue. > Issue in populating junk characters > ----------------------------------- > > Key: CODEC-164 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-164 > Project: Commons Codec > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.7 > Environment: Windows XP, Weblogic, Oracle > Reporter: Priyesh Jain > Attachments: Base64JunkTest.java > > Original Estimate: 168h > Remaining Estimate: 168h > > While decompressing the compressed String (which contains special characters > like " ç or õ or ã " )with API “org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64” it is > showing garbage values. > While using Base64 API, we have used default encoding type as “UTF-8”. > I have tried this issue with commons-codec-v1.3.jar and > commons-codec-v1.7.jar also. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
