Class Base64Utility

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.cxf.common.util.Base64Utility

Method Detail

decodeChunk

public static byte[] decodeChunk(char[] id,
                                 int o,
                                 int l)
                          throws Base64Exception
The decode_chunk routine decodes a chunk of data into its native encoding. base64 encodes each 3 octets of data into 4 characters from a limited 64 character set. The 3 octets are joined to form 24 bits which are then split into 4 x 6bit values. Each 6 bit value is then used as an index into the 64 character table of base64 chars. If the total data length is not a 3 octet multiple the '=' char is used as padding for the final 4 char group, either 1 octet + '==' or 2 octets + '='.

Parameters:
id - The input data to be processed
o - The offset from which to begin processing
l - The length (bound) at which processing is to end
Returns:
The decoded data
Throws:
Base64Exception - Thrown is processing fails due to formatting exceptions in the encoded data
