Could you give us the type and the full stack trace of the exception? It
still might help us to fix a potential problem.

OK, I solved this :-)
There's a length field before the string, total 4 bytes long. So if I do
something like this:
in.position(4);
String temp = in.getString(CharsetUtil.getDefaultCharset().newDecoder());
and print 'temp', it works. The funny bit is, if I say:
String temp = in.getPrefixedString(4, CharsetUtil.getDefaultCharset
().newDecoder());
I get exceptions :-)
Anyway, I'll use what works for now
