Venkat Ganesh updated XERCESJ-1222:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: Base64EncodeDecode2.java
Micheal,
Thanks for pointing out the conversion between byte to char is not ok. With the
modified program, Base64EncodeDecode2.java, I am able to successfully encode
and decode .exe files on Windows.
Thanks a lot.
> Base64 encode/decode bug using xerces-2_9_0 while processing binary files.

> Key: XERCESJ-1222
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1222
> Project: Xerces2-J
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.9.0
> Environment: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
> Reporter: Venkat Ganesh
> Attachments: Base64EncodeDecode.java, Base64EncodeDecode2.java

> Hi,
> The program Base64EncodeDecode.java shown below, is using
> org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.util.Base64 class for base64 encode/decode. It
> works well with ASCII files. However, it fails with binary files.
> Thanks.
> Testing.
> ======
> Make sure xerces jar files are in the classpath.
> Testing with ASCII files.
> ==================
> Encode a text file as shown below:
> java Base64EncodeDecode encode foo.xml foo_encoded.xml
> Decode the encoded file as shown below:
> java Base64EncodeDecode decode foo_encoded.xml foo_decoded.xml
> Verified foo.xml and foo_decoded.xml are identical, as expected.
> Testing with binary files.
> ==================
> Encode a binary file as shown below:
> java Base64EncodeDecode encode procexp.exe procexp_encoded.exe
> Decode the encoded file as shown below:
> java Base64EncodeDecode decode procexp_encoded.exe procexp_decoded.exe
> Verify you cannot double click and open the decoded exe file. You will see
> the error message that the decoded exe file is not a valid Win32 application
> even though the original executable (procexp.exe) is a valid executable. The
> number of bytes and size of the original and decoded executables are same;
> however, the third byte in procexp.exe is ox90 while it is 0x3f in the
> procexp_decoded.exe, when viewed using a hex editor. There are many more
> differences.
> I am able to reproduce this issue with xerces-2_9_0 as well as xerces-2_7_1
> jar files. Is this a known bug?
> How to encode/decode binary files using xerces jar files?
> Thanks and regards,
