Running in EBCDIC or ASCII

["Lim Hock-Chai" <Lim.Hock-Chai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm encountering a strange problem here.  Below is a <clip> of my code
in a java class:

<clip>
   String str;
   String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
   if (osName.equals("OS/400")) {
     str = bao.toString("Cp037");
   }
   else
   {
     str = bao.toString();
   }
</clip>


For some reasons, if this class is instantiate from RPG program, it
works correctly (Str variable will contain readable context).  But if
this class is instantiate from a EJB application, that is running on an
iseries, the str variable will contain non-readable text.  It is
obviously caused by bao is in EBCDIC format when running in RPG but it
is in ASCII format when running from EJB.

Any idea how I can resolve this issue?

Below is the complete code of the class:
package com.arch.boss.util;

import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Arrays;
import com.arch.boss.log.Log;

class StreamGobbler extends Thread
{
    InputStream is = null;
    ByteArrayOutputStream bao = null;
    List<String> listString = null;
    
    StreamGobbler(InputStream is, OutputStream os)
    {
        this.is = is;
        this.bao = (ByteArrayOutputStream) os;
    }
    
    StreamGobbler(InputStream is, List<String> listString)
    {
        this.is = is;
        this.bao = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        this.listString = listString;
    }
    
    public void run()
    {
        try {

        	// read the inputStream and place the result in the
outputStream
		    int result = is.read();    
		    while(result != -1) {      
		    	byte b = (byte)result;
		    	bao.write(b);
		    	result = is.read();
		    }        
		    
		    is.close();
		    
		    // if caller wants it in List String format, convert

		    // the bytearray into stream
		    if (listString != null) {
			    String str;
			    String osName =
System.getProperty("os.name");
			    if (osName.equals("OS/400")) {
	                Log.category.debug( "StreamGobbler(Before): " +
bao.toString());
			    	str = bao.toString("Cp037");
	                Log.category.debug( "StreamGobbler(After): " +
bao.toString());
			    }
			    else
			    {
	                Log.category.debug( "StreamGobbler: " +
bao.toString());
			    	str = bao.toString();
			    }
	
listString.addAll(Arrays.asList(str.split("\n")));
		    }    
		    
		}	    
		catch (Exception ex) {
            Log.category.debug("Error Occured When attempting to get ssh
Key --", ex);
        }
    }
}
