Convert Salesforce Attachment.Body to a file in java

All,

 

I have a java code which makes a call to salesforce retrieves object along with their attachments.

 

In java I need to be able to take the Base64 string from the Attachment (myObject.Attachment.Body) and convert it to a real file on my hard drive.

 

I am always running to encoding miss-match exceptions.

 

Any help will be tremendously appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Make sure you're using binary mode when writing the file or you may cause that exception. I'd wager you're using a text writer instead of a binary writer. Also, make sure you're converting to a byte[] array, not a string.

Please check that the attachment type should not be as Blob . Because then you can not able to parse it.. :(
