Oops, the mailer sent that while I was still typing :-)

Anyway, here's the actual base 64 encoded version of "Anne Anderson" that I
was trying to paste when Outlook jumped the gun on me...

import org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc.Base64;

public class testbase64 {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
            String key = "Anne Anderson";
            String enc = Base64.encode(key.getBytes("ASCII"));
            System.out.println(enc);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Uh oh: " + e);
        }
    }
}

Base64 encoding isn't safely sub-stringable like that.

Here's a base64 encoding of the bytes from the string "Anne Anderson"

Otari,

The test should have a valid base64Binary encoding.  I wanted
something short, so I cut-and-pasted a sub-string from a long
base64 value.  If what I cut is not correct in itself, could you
supply me with a fairly short string of characters (~20
characters) that is a correct base64Binary value?

Thank you,
Anne Anderson
