JavaToBase64

I got tired of writing the apache commons base64 serializer/deserializer into each app that I need to serialize raw Java objects into some type of database/cache. If you include JavaToBase64 into a Java class it will then respond to to_base64 (which is URL safe) and the class will respond to from_base64.

As long as the java class implements serializable all will be well with the world.

This gem has it's own version of apache commons codec, but if you have another version already loaded it will not load the packaged version (through the use of i_can_has_java_class)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'java_to_base64'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install java_to_base64

Usage

  require 'java_to_base64'

  class Java::JavaLang::String
    include JavaToBase64
  end

  string = ::Java::JavaLang::String.new("derp")
  new_string = ::Java::JavaLang::String.from_base64(string.to_base64)
