I have a MultipartInput that has two parts

• Part1 - XML string
• Part2 - Binary data (an image)

Here is an example of how i extract the data from the parts

@POST
@Path("/mixedMime")
@Consumes("multipart/mixed")
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
public String mixedMime(@Context ServletContext servletContext, MultipartInput input) throws Exception{


   int index = 0;
   String xmlText; 
   byte[] imageData;

   for (InputPart part : input.getParts()) {
      index++;

      if(index==1){
        //extract the xml test
        xmlText = part.getBodyAsString()
      }

      if(index==2){
        //extract the image data
        imageData = part.get(???????);
      }

   }
}

How would i extract the image data (binary data) as shown above? I am using Jboss 7.0.2.

The client sends the data using a standalone client - Note i am not using HTML forms. Here is the relevant code from the client. Basically i add the xml file from the file system as the first part. An an image as the second part.

    HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://localhost:8080/RestTest/rest/mixedmime");

    Scanner scanner = 
       new Scanner(new File("myXmlFile.xml")).useDelimiter("\\Z");
       String messageHeader = scanner.next();
       scanner.close();


    FileBody bin = new FileBody(new File("dexter.jpg"));
    StringBody header = new StringBody(messageHeader.toString());

    MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
    reqEntity.addPart("header", header);
    reqEntity.addPart("payload", bin);
    httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);

    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);   

Thanks
