Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIREVE-163:
------------------------------------------
Attribute values are generally stored as String. This is a major problem for
binary attributes, as we loose information (jpegPhoto for instance).
here is an exemple of code where this problem occurs :
org.apache.ldap.common.berlib.asn1.decoder.compare.CompareAVARule {
...
public void finish()
{
// pop the ByteBuffer the super method pushed
ByteBuffer buf = ( ByteBuffer ) getDigester().pop() ;
// peek at the CompareRequest underneath whose name we set
CompareRequest req = ( CompareRequest ) getDigester().peek() ;
byte[] octets = null ;
if ( buf.limit() == buf.capacity() && buf.hasArray() )
{
// use the backing store
octets = buf.array() ;
}
else
{
// copy because we don't have accessible array or data < array
octets = new byte[buf.remaining()] ;
buf.get( octets ) ;
}
if ( req.getAttributeId() == null )
{
req.setAttributeId( new String( octets ) ) ;
}
else
{
req.setAssertionValue( new String( octets ) ) ;
}
}
The "new String(octets)" is destructing when applied to binary values.

> All the picture byte values like those (-113 , -115, -112, -127 and -99) are
> changed to the "63" value when reading jpeg datas. "-39" value is changed to
> "0".
> This is on my jpeg sample picture but I think there is enought datas to be
> representative.
> I have tried to put a picture with JXplorer and my own client program. The
