I have had a similar problem when using strings in this way, The way
I got around this was to use a to specify the specific encoding when
constructing the string object, by default the constructer will use
the operating system character encoding witch can very dramatically
even though it supposed to be ascii, According to the API reference
for java 1.4 the byte constructer for string does: "Constructs a new
String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the platform's
default charset." This is what gave me the problem I used the "String
(byte[] bytes, String charsetName)" costructer instead and translated
the bytes into the correct encoding for each platform, this worked
for windows, linux and osx

Could you try to remove the encoding/decoding part and performing
directly:
String decodedString = new String(s.getBytes());
and to compare the hash codes ?
If this fails, then it would mean the special character is not
valid in the
default encoding of your Linux box but valid in the (probably
different)
encoding of your Windows box.
The javadoc for the constructor String(byte[]) says:
The behavior of this constructor when the given bytes are not valid
in the default charset is unspecified.
In this case, a possible workaround would be to explicitely specify
an encoding
for which the special character is valid instead of relying on the
default
charset of the system.

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with the Base64 encoding class in the
commons package.
i.e. org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64
I am trying to encode & decode a string back to its original
value. I have
tried this on windows & linux.
If you compare the hashcodes of the original string with the new
string, it
returns different values with Linux.
For eg.
String s = "Matrix ";
System.out.println("s = " + s.hashCode());
String s1 = new String(Base64.encodeBase64(s.getBytes()));
String decodedString = new String(Base64.decodeBase64(s1.getBytes
()));
System.out.println("decodedString = " + decodedString.hashCode());
The output on windows :-
s = Matrix
s = -1789003553
decodedString = -1789003553
The output on linux :-
s = Matrix?
s = -1789003553
decodedString = -1789003650
Has anyone faced this problem before ?
Thanks & Regards,
Priti
PS. There is a special character in the string after the word
'Matrix'.
