Problem in getting MQ message

[Vins Ver]

Hello people,

Facing a problem while getting a message with Japanese text in it. Would give you a brief background.
1. Application Server migrated from 9i (jdk 1.3) to 10g (jdk 1.5)
2. MQ server upgrade from 5 to 7.0.1

Using the below mentioned method to get the MQ message. The japanese characters are got correctly in 9i version but they give junk values in 10g. The CCSID for MQ server is 943 (Shift_JIS).

public String syncMQGet(String pstrGetQueueName, int pintWaitInterval, String pstrCorrelId) {
String strCorrelId = pstrCorrelId;
try {
connectGetQueue(pstrGetQueueName);
oGetMsgOpt = new MQGetMessageOptions();
oGetMsgOpt.options = MQC.MQGMO_FAIL_IF_QUIESCING | MQC.MQGMO_WAIT;
oGetMsgOpt.matchOptions = MQC.MQMO_MATCH_CORREL_ID;
oGetMsgOpt.waitInterval=pintWaitInterval*1000;
oGetMessage = new MQMessage();
oGetMessage.correlationId=strCorrelId.getBytes();;
oGetQueue.get(oGetMessage,oGetMsgOpt);
byte bResponse[] = new byte[oGetMessage.getDataLength()];
oGetMessage.readFully(bResponse);
str_Message = new String(bResponse); // also tried as str_Message = new String(bResponse,"Shift_JIS") without success
bResponse = null;
} catch(MQException m) {
if(m.reasonCode == 2033){
} else {
}
} catch(Exception e) {
}
return str_Message;
}

Please suggest. Have a sneaky feeling this has something to do with different jdk versions(I may be very wrong) but cannot pin point the issue.

Thanks.

guess not many are active so publishing this in General Java category too.

If anyone reads this.. please suggest.

No, probably you aren't getting an answer because Websphere configuration problems are extremely difficult to debug via forum messages. I will leave this post open, though. You never know, somebody may know something about that.

And by the way, I don't think your hunch about changing the Java version is right. You clearly have an encoding problem, so your remark about the CCSID is more likely to be the place to look.

Also have tried quite a few charset values without success:

str_Message = new String(bResponse,"Shift_JIS")  // in place of Shift_JIS

There is a difference in the junk characters being displayed with different charsets, thus may be it is a similar related issue. Any ideas?
