Another thought: what if you save the contents of ret to a file? Maybe you're responsible for shaving off the higher byte yourself. Why are you returning a String in this method, why not a byte[]. When writing the result to the response.getOutputStream or the PrintWriter, the String will have to be converted to a byte[] anyway. Not only will you save in performance, you'll also avoid nasty problems while converting bytes from and to a String. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
