#134 Wrong message from exception

[Jens Villadsen]

Sending the following message (please note that the second character in the MSH-2 is elevated and not a correct tilde (~) ):

- results in the following exception with trace:

However - this has nothing to do with it being UNICODE UTF-8, it is because of the the second character in the MSH-2.

The following trace is

2012-01-24 09:20:33,274 ERROR (ca.uhn.hl7v2.protocol.impl.ProcessorImpl$Cycler.java:514) - Error processing message

I suggest a better exception message

[Jens Villadsen]

BTW: Its in the HAPI 2.0-beta1 it was found

Fix has been checked in with a more descriptive error message. Thanks for reporting!
