ByteArray

managed BEAN

Hello,

I have a byte array and would like to show it´s content in a web application using servlet.

Using SoapUI this is what i get into my application:

The servlet i use is:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {String byteString = (request.getParameter("bytes"));byte[] bytes = byteString.getBytes();OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();try {    byte[] buffer = bytes;    os.write(buffer, 0, buffer.length);} catch (Exception e) {    System.out.println(e);} finally {    if (os != null) {        os.close();    }}}

but it display nothing in browser.

If i pass the content Type (which is a string value) it shows it in browser, so code is correct (perhaps not completed for pdf).

Can you help me?

Thanks

Carlos

RuGI:.

The browser requires to know the mime-type to know if it can or not render the file.

You can know the mime-type from the ByteArray using something like ApacheTika or jMimeMagic

Hello,

Thanks for response.

I think you are rigth, but in that case how does the browser knows the mimetype of following code of servlet:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {path = "/home/weblogic/ccarvalho/OracleBIP/examples/javascript.pdf";try {    File outputFile = new File(path);    inputStream = new FileInputStream(outputFile);    BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(inputStream);    int                 b;    byte[]              buffer = new byte[10240];    while ((b = in.read(buffer, 0, 10240)) != -1) {        os.write(buffer, 0, b);    }

?

Cause that shows the pdf correct

Regards,

Carlos

RuGI:.

Perhaps in the case of the servlet the byteArray is not being correctly received or is incomplete.

Place thecode (with FileInputStream) in the servlet and validate the result.

Hello,

In the meantime i found out that the service (the postman printScreen of original post) was replying (implicitly) the result in Base64 format.

So started to decode it in client in a java class to validate and was ok, but when i put that code in the servlet it gives null after the decoding part:

    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)        throws ServletException, IOException {        String byteString = (request.getParameter("bytes"));        System.out.println("byteString" + byteString);        byte[] bytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(byteString);        System.out.println("bytes" + bytes);                //response.setContentType("application/pdf" + "; charset=utf8");                FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/home/weblogic/ccarvalho/OracleBIP/examples/test.pdf");        fos.write(bytes);        fos.close();                OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();

and the log from console is:

So there is an issue in decoding the Base64format to byteArray.

Solving that should do the trick.

Thanks,

Carlos

P.S. - line 37 is line 13 of doGet method of servlet (fos.write(bytes))

managed BEAN

Hello,

Found that changing the library of Base64 to org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 helped solving the issue, although i went to a different approach that does not need a servlet now.

I convert it to image (Blob) and show it in web page.

Done.

Thanks everyone.

Carlos
