AbstractBytesMessage.getText corrupts the ByteBuffer if the data is not a String

                 Key: QPID-1117
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1117
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java Client
    Affects Versions: M2, M2.1
            Reporter: Martin Ritchie
            Assignee: Martin Ritchie
             Fix For: M3


Summary:

The JMSObjectMessage toBodyString calls toString(ByteBuffer b). This method 
assumes that the Object Message can be converted to a string using:
            return data.getString(Charset.forName("UTF8").newDecoder());
However, if this fails then the byte buffer limit value is set to the last byte 
read by the decoder.

Subsequent calls to getObject() will result in an EOFException as the full 
buffer is unable to be read due to the limit point change.


Steps to Reproduce:
Send a java object and print the message S.o.pln(message); before you call 
getObject().

Defect Identification:
The current position in the buffer is recorded but the limit is not. Recording 
and resetting the limit would be one possible approach.

Proposed Changes:
Remove the toString(ByteBuffer b) method and change the toBodyString to perform:

String.valueOf(getObject());

This will ensure that the toString will work as long as getObject() can be 
continually called.

Test Strategy:
To test we should create an additional test in ObjectMessageTest

testToString()

//Setup
//Receive Message
ObjectMessage message=client.receive();

//Test
String messageAsString = message.toString();

Object objectAfterToString = message.getObject();
// catch and fail all errors
AssertNotNull("Error Object not received after toString",objectAfterToString );

//Perform the toBodyString Explicitly
String messageBodyAsString = message.toBodyString();

Object objectAfterToBodyString = message.getObject();
// catch and fail all errors
AssertNotNull("Error Object not received after 
toBodyString",objectAfterToBodyString );
