[Advanced-java] Java & Coldfusion, CFX's & binary data.....

[colin@xxxxxxxxx (Colin Findlay)]

Hello, 

Here's a nice easy question - I have a Java CFX that creates a binary 
file on the fly (lets pretend it's a jpeg).

What I need to do is output the file into a ColdFusion variable. Much 
like the way cffile works - ie <cffile action="readBinary" 
file="bob.jpg" variable="fred">

I currently have all the binary info sitting in a ByteOutputStream - 
but I can't just use toString as it will convert it to chars - and I 
can't just use Response.setVariable as it only takes Strings....

What should I do? (And writing the file to the harddisk and then 
using cffile to read it back is not really what I want to do)

Like I said - a nice easy question.

Col.
