Hi,
I know this might be a cake walk for most of u.. but been having quite some trouble here.
How do I decode a base64 encoded image, which is of String format and display it on the jsp screen ?
I can send also acrosss the base 64 encoded image to some one through email.
PLs some one help me out.
Regards

There's an open source Base64 library here, with examples.
http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/java/base64/
When you decode a Base64 encoded image, you will end up with something like a bytearray, or a binary inputstream.
How you interpret that, is up to the format of your image.
But a quick look at ImageIcon shows that it accepts a bytearray, without you having to specify a format. It accepts GIF or JPEG.

byte[] encoded = null;
// TODO : read in your base64 encoded data, and store in "encoded"
byte[] decoded = Base64.decode(encoded, 0, encoded.length);
ImageIcon myImage = new ImageIcon (decoded)
Image finalImage = myImage.getImage();
