Re: [Javaserver-java] javaserver with binary data

[<ma...@zz...>]

Got it.  Yah you currently can't pass binary data over the JavaServer connexion.
Other than encoding the data (base64 would be easy), you can open a socket 
between the JavaServer process and the perl process & pass the data that way.
Check out 'sever.pl' in the perl examples - a ServerSocket & created &
opened on the Java side & then lines are passed to it - all from within perl.
Mash your ByteArrayInputStream on top of the ServerSocket & you may have
something.
