Getting Images with Java Plugin

Hi guys... Here is one for the more experienced Java guys among you.

We are developing a plugin to send data to another software system via Webservice.

Any suggestions on how we can get an Image from aware IM and format it as a base64 string before sending it via the web service.

Any examples will be appreciated.

Thnx in advance.

I have not done anything with pictures in a plug-in, but the following might help.

Look at the getBinaryData method on page 16 of the Programmers Reference document.
