DbUnit and binary data
After all I solved it like that:
XML dataset file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><dataset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" > <!-- image_content is string '12345' Base64 encoded --> <IMAGE IMAGE_ID="1" IMAGE_CONTENT="MTIzNDU="/></dataset>
DbUnit has built-in support for Base64 encoded data, it transformes correctly into byte array.
Test case code:
assertEquals("12345".getBytes(), image.getContent());
