this is not related to formatting, my bet is on encoding issues. Are you
ensuring proper encoding somewhere?
I have created testcase
server side:
@PUT
@Path("echo")
@Produces("text/plain; charset=utf-8")
public byte[] echo(byte[] s) {
System.out.println("Service received: " + new String(s,
Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
return s;
}
client side:
@Test
public void testEcho() {
WebResource webResource = resource();
byte[] bytes =
webResource.path("helloworld/echo").put(byte[].class, new
String("Pr(ílis( z(lut(ouc(ký ku*n( úpe(l d(ábelské ódy".getBytes(),
Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
System.out.println("Client received: " + new String(bytes,
Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
}
and output is:
Service received: Pr(ílis( z(lut(ouc(ký ku*n( úpe(l d(ábelské ódy
Client received: Pr(ílis( z(lut(ouc(ký ku*n( úpe(l d(ábelské ódy
which is correct.
So my recommendation: investigate about encoding used on both sides,
tools like ethereal/wireshark should help you.
