Different interpretation of bytes filed

[Santos Jha]

I am currently using proto3. I have a variable declared as bytes in protocol language. I have generated both Java code and C++ code.

In Java, this variable is of type ByteString whereas in C++ it std: string.

I send data from C++ program to java program.

In C++ I set the value as 

std::string *mutSignX=this->eERaRequestMessage->mutable_signx();

mutSignX->assign(xSignString);

Basically eERaRequestMessage encapsulates this variable.

This object is serialized and passed to the java side Where this variable becomes bytestring. 

I print the value on both side I see weird stuff. On C ++ side it is 

5067074999823757705047826352622691465172865869283871351499048344639279650646

Where as on Java site I see following.

34353036373037343939393832333735373730353034373832363335323632323639313436353137323836353836393238333837313335313439393034383334343633393237393635303634362e

I think I am missing something.
