Method

byte[]getBytes(String outputFile, Map queries)
get Bytes 
FileInputStream in = null;
try {
    in = new FileInputStream(outputFile);
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    int c;
    byte buffer[] = new byte[1024];
    while ((c = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
        for (int i = 0; i < c; i++)
...
byte[]getBytes(String s)
Converts a string to it ISO-8859-1 byte sequence It is an workaround for variable initialisations outside of functions. 
try {
    return s.getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException("Unsupported Encoding", e);
byte[]getBytes(String s)
Returns the bytes of the string in ENCODING_ISO_8859_1. 
try {
    return s.getBytes(ENCODING_ISO_8859_1);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    return s.getBytes();
byte[]getBytes(String s)
get Bytes 
return getBytes(s, "UTF-8");
byte[]getBytes(String s)
Return a byte array corresponding to the given String. 
try {
    return getBytes(s, System.getProperty("jna.encoding"));
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    return s.getBytes();
byte[]getBytes(String s)
Returns a byte-array representing the default encoding for a String. 
try {
    return s.getBytes(DEFAULT_ENCODING);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException("The JVM does not support the compiler's default encoding.", e);
byte[]getBytes(String s)
get Bytes 
char[] chars = s.toCharArray();
int size = chars.length;
byte[] bytes = new byte[size];
for (int i = 0; i < size;)
    bytes[i] = (byte) chars[i++];
return bytes;
byte[]getBytes(String s, String charsetName)
get Bytes 
if (s == null) {
    return null;
try {
    return s.getBytes(charsetName);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
byte[]getBytes(String s, String encoding)
Returns the contents of the given string as an array of bytes in the platform's default encoding. 
try {
    return s.getBytes(encoding);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
    return s.getBytes();
byte[]getBytes(String s, String encoding)
get Bytes 
byte[] bytes = null;
if (s != null) {
    try {
        bytes = s.getBytes(encoding);
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        bytes = s.getBytes();
return bytes;
