encode

public static void encode(ByteBuffer raw,
                          ByteBuffer encoded)
Performs Base64 encoding on the raw ByteBuffer, writing it to the encoded ByteBuffer. This is an experimental feature. Currently it does not pass along any options (such as DO_BREAK_LINES or GZIP.

Parameters:
raw - input buffer
encoded - output buffer
Since:
2.3

encode

public static void encode(ByteBuffer raw,
                          CharBuffer encoded)
Performs Base64 encoding on the raw ByteBuffer, writing it to the encoded CharBuffer. This is an experimental feature. Currently it does not pass along any options (such as DO_BREAK_LINES or GZIP.

Parameters:
raw - input buffer
encoded - output buffer
Since:
2.3

encodeObject

public static String encodeObject(Serializable serializableObject)
                           throws IOException
Serializes an object and returns the Base64-encoded version of that serialized object.

As of v 2.3, if the object cannot be serialized or there is another error, the method will throw an java.io.IOException. This is new to v2.3! In earlier versions, it just returned a null value, but in retrospect that's a pretty poor way to handle it.

The object is not GZip-compressed before being encoded.

Parameters:
serializableObject - The object to encode
Returns:
The Base64-encoded object
Throws:
IOException - if there is an error
NullPointerException - if serializedObject is null
Since:
1.4

encodeObject

public static String encodeObject(Serializable serializableObject,
                                  int options)
                           throws IOException
Serializes an object and returns the Base64-encoded version of that serialized object.

As of v 2.3, if the object cannot be serialized or there is another error, the method will throw an java.io.IOException. This is new to v2.3! In earlier versions, it just returned a null value, but in retrospect that's a pretty poor way to handle it.

The object is not GZip-compressed before being encoded.

Example options:

   GZIP: gzip-compresses object before encoding it.
   DO_BREAK_LINES: break lines at 76 characters

Example: encodeObject( myObj, Base64.GZIP ) or

Example: encodeObject( myObj, Base64.GZIP | Base64.DO_BREAK_LINES )

Parameters:
serializableObject - The object to encode
options - Specified options
Returns:
The Base64-encoded object
Throws:
IOException - if there is an error
Since:
2.0
