converting xml document to byte array in Java

Question

I am trying to convert an arbitrary Xml Document to a byte array so that it can be encoded using Base64. Can anybody help me with how to go about this. Also, what's the easiest api to use for base64 encoding in Java?

Thanks.

What have you tried so far? Have you looked at any documentation yet? Show us some code for things you have tried. — mattjgalloway

The easiest API for base64 encoding is probably Commons Codec.

using the api it is done something like this: byte[] encode = Base64.encode(unencodedString.getBytes()); String encodedString = new String(encode);

Thanks guys...here's what I came up with. Still doesn't work.

public static void main(String[] args) { try{ File f = new File("servers.xml"); FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f); byte [] ba = new byte[(int)f.length()]; fis.read(ba); } catch (Exception e){ System.out.println("exception occurred ==>"+e); } byte [] code = Base64.encodeBase64(ba); }
