       +----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.

  Base64Decoder

##

Base64Encoder(InputStream, OutputStream)
  Create a new Base64 encoder, encoding input to output.
Base64Encoder(String)
  Create a new Base64 encoder, to encode the given string.

##

main(String[])
  Testing the encoder.
process()
  Process the data: encode the input stream to the output stream.
processString()
  Encode the content of this encoder, as a string.

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.

##

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.
