Constructor Detail

Base64InputStream

public Base64InputStream(java.io.InputStream in)

Creates a new Base64 decoding input stream, using the input stream (encoded stream).

Parameters:

in - The base 64 encoded input stream

Method Detail

read

public int read()
         throws java.io.IOException

Reads the next byte of data from this input stream. The value byte is returned as an int in the range 0 to 255. If no byte is available because the end of the stream has been reached, the value -1 is returned. This method blocks until input data is available, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

This method simply performs in.read() and returns the result.

Specified by:

read in class AbstractByteFilterInputStream

Returns:

the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

parseCharacter

public static int parseCharacter(int ch)

Checks a character for correct BASE64 encoding. Returns -1 if the character is not valid. Returns END_OF_INPUT if 'ch' is the end of input character.

Parameters:

ch - the input character

Returns:

int The binary value of the input character, or -1 if it is not a valid BASE64 character.
