Hi,
I have been trying to consume an Axis2 web service that
returns binary data in base64 from a .NET client, and the
client is complaining about invalid characters in the
base64 string. I took a look at the string and actually
the base64 string is including '=' chars in the middle of
the string, but this char is only allowed at the end of
the string, for padding. So I took a look at the code for
the class org.apache.axiom.om.impl.llom.OMTextImpl and
there seems to be a bug in the base64 encoding process, in
the method getText(). This method is encoding chunks of
1024 bytes at a time; base64 encodes 3 bytes at a time,
and as 1024 is not a multiple of 3 then a pad of two '='
chars is generated for every chunk. I think that with a
chunk size that is multiple of 3 (i.e. 1023), this
problem could be solved.
public String getText() throws OMException {
...
InputStream inStream;
inStream = this.getInputStream();
byte[] data;
StringBuffer text = new StringBuffer();
do {
data = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = inStream.read(data)) >
0) {
byte[] temp = new byte[len];
System.arraycopy(data, 0, temp,
0, len);
text.append(Base64.encode(temp));
}
} while (inStream.available() > 0);
...
}
