import java.io.*;
import org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc.Base64;
public class FileUtils {
static public void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
System.out.println("-- go !!!!");
// get input binary source
File file = new File("c:\\temp\\file.JPG");
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(new
FileInputStream(file));
int bytes = (int) file.length();
byte[] buffer = new byte[bytes];
int readBytes = bis.read(buffer);
bis.close();
// encode binary source
String encodedString = Base64.encode(buffer);
// decode String source and save the file to the disk
byte[] buffer2=Base64.decode(encodedString);
File file2 = new File("c:\\temp\\fileNew.jpg");
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file2));
bos.write(buffer2);
bos.close();
System.out.println("-- ready !!!!");
