String to Byte conversion and back yield different results

807607Dec 9 2006 — edited Dec 10 2006

Hi,

while programming with the Java Cryptography API, I stumbled across this problem:

"blah".getBytes()

and

new String("blah".getBytes()).getBytes()

yield different results.

Why is that? I tried using explicit charset conversion, but always with the same result. Shouldn't these two byte arrays match?! I must be missing something.

Thanks in advance,
Matthias
