org.w3c.tools.codec.Base64Encoder

public class Base64Encoder
extends Object

BASE64 encoder implementation. This object takes as parameter an input stream and an output stream. It encodes the input stream, using the BASE64 encoding rules, as defined in MIME specification and emit the resulting data to the output stream.

Constructor Detail

Base64Encoder

public Base64Encoder(String input)

Create a new Base64 encoder, to encode the given string.

Parameters:

input - The String to be encoded.

Base64Encoder

public Base64Encoder(InputStream in,
             OutputStream out)

Create a new Base64 encoder, encoding input to output.

Parameters:

in - The input stream to be encoded.

out - The output stream, to write encoded data to.

Method Detail

process

public void process()
             throws IOException

Process the data: encode the input stream to the output stream. This method runs through the input stream, encoding it to the output stream.

Throws:

IOException - If we weren't able to access the input stream or the output stream.

processString

public String processString()

Encode the content of this encoder, as a string. This methods encode the String content, that was provided at creation time, following the BASE64 rules, as specified in the rfc1521.

Returns:

A String, reprenting the encoded content of the input String.

main

public static void main(String[] args)

Testing the encoder. Run with one argument, prints the encoded version of it.
