.NET programs represent strings within messages as byte arrays. Before sending an outbound message, EMS programs translate strings to their byte representation using an encoding, which the program specifies. Conversely, when EMS programs receive inbound messages, they reconstruct strings from byte arrays using the same encoding.
When a program specifies an encoding, it applies to all strings in message bodies (names and values), and properties (names and values). It does not apply to header names nor values. The method BytesMessage.
WriteUTF
always uses UTF-8 as its encoding.
For a list of standard encoding names, see www.iana.org.
Programs can determine the encoding of strings in outbound messages in three ways:
Tibems.SetEncoding
.Tibems.SetMessageEncoding
.An inbound message from another EMS client explicitly announces its encoding. A receiving client decodes the message using the proper encoding.
