Java receivers need easier access to byte[] contained in String
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-875
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-875
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules
Affects Versions: JRuby 0.9.9
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
Fix For: JRuby 1.0.0
The Ruby String impl in JRuby is backed by a byte[]. Often Java libraries we
call from Ruby code will actually want the byte[] rather than a coerced
java.lang.String instance, usually because the byte[] contains real binary data
that would be destroyed by a coercion to UTF-16 characters. We need a better
way (perhaps an automatic way?) to pass a Ruby String's byte[] contents to Java
code that wants it.
