Description

We are using Camel Bindy to parse fixed length data.

I came across the issue, that it fails to read data containing characters like ß, which takes 2 bytes. The character set is properly set on the exchange to UTF-8, the record length is 1568 bytes, but since there are 2xß characters, it throws the error:

Size of the record: 1566 is not equal to the value provided in the model: 1568, StackTrace: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Size of the record: 1566 is not equal to the value provided in the model: 1568Size of the record: 1566 is not equal to the value provided in the model: 1568, StackTrace: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Size of the record: 1566 is not equal to the value provided in the model: 1568 at org.apache.camel.dataformat.bindy.fixed.BindyFixedLengthDataFormat.createModel(BindyFixedLengthDataFormat.java:295)

here:

BindyFixedLengthDataFormat#createModel

if ((myLine.length() < factory.recordLength()
 && !factory.isIgnoreMissingChars()) || (myLine.length() > factory.recordLength())) {
 throw new java.lang.IllegalArgumentException("Size of the record: " + myLine.length()
 + " is not equal to the value provided in the model: " + factory.recordLength());
}
