[jira] Commented: (CODEC-40) [codec] Patch to add crypto-compatible
BigInteger encoding support to Base64
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-40?page=comments#action_12442748 ]
Gary Gregory commented on CODEC-40:
-----------------------------------
I think it would be nice to have the tests and unit tests cover some simple and edge cases: null, -1, 0, 1 as well as bogus byte arrays. A senisble error should be throws NullArgumentException, Illegal ArgumentException, etc.

> There are crypto standards that require large integers for keys to be encoded in
> base64 with some special caveats (no sign bit, padding, etc). One of the
> standards that requires this is the w3c's XML-Signature standard. This patch
> adds this support along with junit tests. This code is taken from the Apache XML
> Security project's own Base64 class and changed to be more readable and add
> junit tests.
