Barcode Webservice Issues

Question

Hi,
I am trying to generate and barcode from a webservice (http://www.webservicex.net/barcode.asmx?WSDL) which returns the barcode image in base64 stream.
Input:
====
POST /barcode.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: www.webservicex.net
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://www.webserviceX.NET/Code39"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<Code39 xmlns="http://www.webserviceX.NET">
<Code>string</Code>
<BarSize>int</BarSize>
<ShowCodeString>boolean</ShowCodeString>
<Title>string</Title>
</Code39>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Output:
=====
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<Code39Response xmlns="http://www.webserviceX.NET">
<Code39Result>base64Binary</Code39Result>
</Code39Response>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I used Jdeveloper 9.0.3 to create a stub for this service:
public Byte[] Code39(String Code, Integer BarSize, Boolean ShowCodeString, String Title) throws Exception ...
When I try to write this Byte[] stream to a file, it is always empty.
public static void main(String[] args)
try
WSBarCodeStub stub = new WSBarCodeStub();
// Add your own code here.
String arg1 = "CODE39";
java.lang.Integer arg2 = new java.lang.Integer(10);
Boolean arg3 = Boolean.TRUE;
String arg4 = "Ashish";
System.out.println("Calling "+stub.endpoint);
Byte[] res = stub.Code39(arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4);
String fileName = "test.txt";
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fileName, true);
System.out.println(" Result "+res+" Length "+res.length);
try
for (int i =0; i<res.length;i++)
System.out.print(res[i]+",");
//out.write(res);
finally{
if (out != null) {
out.close();
//out.close();
System.out.println(" Trying to Write to File ");
catch(Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(res[i]) produces an output:
Result [Ljava.lang.Byte;@129f3b5  Length 609
-119,80,78,71,13,10,26,10,0,0,0,13,73,72,68,82,0,0,0,59,0,0,0, ......
But the file is always empty... I am not an expert in Java or WebServices, so excuse me if this is something obvious that I am overlooking.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
