Code Conversion and Generation

For example, in a string-to-byte array conversion (or vice versa), the generated Java code could be:

 getoutput().setPayload(STCTypeConverter.toByteArray
    (getinput().getBlob()));

or

 getinput().setBlob(STCTypeConverter.toString
    (getoutput().getPayload()));

If you define the blob data as a byte array, no type conversion is necessary. When there is a conversion, the Collaboration Editor uses the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) default encoding to do the conversion to code, as shown in the previous examples.
