The byteArray in question is an Active Directory msExchMailboxGuid field. I'm trying to put an app together as a helper to our backup software (which we generally access with a browser in case anyone is wondering why I'd use CF for something like this). We found out that it has trouble recovering purged mailboxes yesterday and the key is the msExchMailboxGuid, which comes out of cfldap completely unintelligible. I need to be able to pull two of these, verify that that one matches what the backup software is looking for, change the other, and change it back at a certain point in the restore process.
I've got all that worked out except how to make it readable so that a human can verify that it grabbed the right one. -----Original Message----- From: denstar [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 11:22 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: ByteArray objects On Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 11:07 AM, Sisk, Kris wrote: > > Is there a way to convert a java bytearray into something human > readable? Everything I've tried has thrown a "ByteArray objects cannot > be converted to strings" error. yourByteArray.toString() maybe? Depends if it's binary data or not, I think. If you can provide more info, I'm sure I can help. I do all kinds of stuff like this in the various projects I work on. :Den -- When a man fails to see the truth of certain generally accepted views, there is no law compelling him to provoke animosity by announcing his dissent.
