Convert one filed to base64binary (byte)

[former_member190239]

I have a file to webservice scenario in which all fileds that are input to the webservice are string so I map them from the source side after applyign graphical functions.. but one field in target side has a data type base64Binary

Is this same as byte? or this is base64ecoding?

Also can you please let me know I can accomplish the mapping usign UDF?

when I do a return inputstring.getBytes() , its throwing an error

Regards,

Tej

HI  Ravi,

Is this same as byte? or this is base64ecoding?

This represents an encoding of a binary file, but the representation is in base64. With base64 you can get text or binary data but the algorithm is the same. It is base64encoding

Also can you please let me know I can accomplish the mapping usign UDF?

I think that you want to take the file a converting it in base64 and to set a XML tag with this value.

You can use a java mapping to do this. You use the file adapter to take the file and later in the java mapping you do the base64 conversion:

1. To read a file and to deal with it in java mapping: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10dd67dd-a42b-2a10-2785-91c40ee56...

2. Conversion to base64 of an inputstream: How do you convert an InputStream to a base64 string in Scala? - Stack Overflow

3. Finally, you take this result and string and you converts the target XML manually.

Regards.

Thanks Inaki....

My requirement is follows...file to webservice

one field in the target side called DATA (WS) , is to be mapped to one field in from the source side CONTENT (FILE)....

but the data type in the target field is of type "base64Binary" (WS), whereas the data type of the field CONTENT(FILE) is string..

the rest of the fields in the target side are mapped one to one with the fields from the source side.. its all string.. except for the field DATA

A simple UDF can help. Please check

Hi EXperts,

Any help on this?

Converting one field of input from string to byte stream?

[former_member220103]

Hi,

You can convert the base64Binary into string as below:

byte[] encodedString =  Base64.encodeBase64(strInput.getBytes());

return (encodedString.toString());

Thanks,

Kanda
