[jruby-user] Reading binary Files

Hi there
I am trying to read a binary file using Java's "FileInputStream" to
later store it in HBase.

My problem is the byte-array conversion needed to call the read-method:

inFile = File.new("/home/roger/Downloads/test.jpg")
inputStream = FileInputStream.new(inFile)

length = inFile.length()
buffer = ""

inputStream.read(buffer)


Any Ideas?

You may find the entire code in the attachment.

Thanks
Roger
