<P><FONT SIZE=2>Jason and others,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Sorry for the unclear question. Now I have defined my questions.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>1. Jason, I go to the link you mention :</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2><A HREF="http://servlets.com/resources/com.oreilly.servlet/Base64Decoder.html#decode(java.lang.String" TARGET="_blank">http://servlets.com/resources/com.oreilly.servlet/Base64Decoder.html#decode(java.lang.String</A>)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2><A HREF="http://servlets.com/resources/com.oreilly.servlet/Base64Encoder.html" TARGET="_blank">http://servlets.com/resources/com.oreilly.servlet/Base64Encoder.html</A></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>However It's only the documentation. Where(link) can I download the classes /sample ?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>2. As I know Oracle BLOB field is already binary, right now I guess ( i hope it's right) I don't need base 64 encoder anymore if i know the method to get BLOB in correct way. Then I just embedd the binary to XML. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Perhaps anybody knows how to get / convert BLOB field in bin base 64 ?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>How I can embedd binary base 64 to XML ?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>3. Alex Chaffee suggests me org.jdom.contrib.beans.JDOMBean, but I can not jump to the link.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>And also I go to <A HREF="http://www.jdom.org/downloads/index.html" TARGET="_blank">http://www.jdom.org/downloads/index.html</A> to find binary code so that I just use JDOM to parse XML. What should I choose for latest release of JDOM binary ?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Milestone builds or Release Builds or Nightly Builds ?</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> First servlet converts Oracle BLOB field (image) to binary base 64</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> encoding. Then servlet uses JDOM to parse image to XML document</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> (preferable using DTD because I read Bob Gray's sample in vb and asp</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> only using XML Schema).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Client browser receives XML Doc and activeX in client browser handles</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> the decoding from bin base 64 to stream/olestream (delphi data type).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Sounds to me like you're trying to use every possible encoding on this</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>data possible. Meanwhile, you never said what it is you're trying to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>accomplish. This sounds bad, but honestly, I suspect you're not sure</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>yourself. Best you figure that out, then ask a specific question.</FONT>
