Hi,
In general this exception signals that a malformed UTF-8 string has been read in a data input stream or by any class that implements the data input interface. See the writeUTF and readUTF method for the format in whichUTF-8 strings are read and written.
<b>writeUTF:</b>
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/io/DataOutputStream.html#writeUTF(ja va.lang.String)
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/io/DataOutput.html#writeUTF(java.lan g.String)
<b>readUTF:</b>
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/io/DataInputStream.html#readUTF(java .io.DataInput)
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/io/DataInput.html#readUTF()
Can you please provide some more details as where are you getting this exception, and is it a application exception or is iAS the one creating this problem.
Thanks,
Sanjeev.
