Question

i am using java for my sever side application.i will give the location of a particular image file as input and this must be converted to base64 format using java and send it to server.pl help me..

Answer 1

File folderName = new File(processingFolder+"/"+f1[i].getName());
            File[] folderFiles= folderName.listFiles();

            for(int m=0;m<folderFiles.length;m++)
            {
                System.out.println("folderFiles are:"+folderFiles[m]);
                //String s1 = new String();
             File readfile = new File(folderFiles[m].toString());
             System.out.println(readfile.exists() + "!!");

             FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(readfile);
             ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

             byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
             try {
                 for (int readNum; (readNum = fis.read(buf)) != -1;) {
                     bos.write(buf, 0, readNum); 
                     //no doubt here is 0
                     /*Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset 
                     off to this byte array output stream.*/
                 }
             }


             catch (IOException ex) {
             }
             byte[] bytes = bos.toByteArray();

              result2 = Base64.encode( bytes );

this converts file into base64 format.

// Mapping table from Base64 characters to 6-bit nibbles.
private static final byte[] map2 = new byte[128];
   static {
      for (int i=0; i<map2.length; i++) map2[i] = -1;
      for (int i=0; i<64; i++) map2[map1[i]] = (byte)i; }
