The problem is with the inner classes present in the Base64.java file. Post the code present in the Base64.java file. Also a little background on what exactly are you doing in Training.java would be helpful.

I need to find out what str2 is its a small puzzle i was to solve

Thanx for the replyy....

I don't see any import for the Base64 class? Have you rolled in your own implementation of Base64 or are you using a library which provides such an implementation?

}
public InputStream(InputStream paramInputStream, boolean paramBoolean)

Now I am just guessing here, but I think the paramInputStream parameter is of type Base64.InputStream .

Since you have conflicting names, I suggest you change that definition to :-

public InputStream(java.io.InputStream paramInputStream, boolean paramBoolean)

if you wish that InputStream refer to the InputStream from the java.io package.

BTW drop the SMS speak, you have a full keyboard in front of you so type the complete words.

OK, Thanks...that has removed the bug but now i got a new error
E:\j2sdk1.4.2_19\bin\JAR>java Training
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main

Sorry for being rude, but have you done any programming at all in Java ???

If not then what are you doing with this code ??

Because the above exception is as clear as it gets, show some effort from your side and what have you done to solve this problem or some analysis on why you think this is happening, rather than just blindly copy pasting what is mentioned here and vomiting back what your system throws back at you.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.lang.String.<init>(Unknown Source)
at Base64.main(Base64.java:35)

any suggestions about this error

Not until you show us what effort or analysis you made in tracing that error.
And as I said before do not just vomit back what your system throws back at you, show us some analysis, some effort from your side.

**Also my instinct suggests this is not your code so better show some effort in at least diagnosing the error**

I would like to add something to stephen84s's comments. The error you get is quite clear but you didn't even bother reading it:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.lang.String.<init>(Unknown Source)
at Base64.main(Base64.java:35)

There is an error (NullPointerException) at line: 35 in the file: Base64.java inside the method: main

As the error says: at Base64.main(Base64.java:35)

This is a problem from the site www.mod-x.co.uk that he is trying to solve... he is meant to solve it himself lol but he is trying to get you guys to solve it... he has downloaded the .jar file and used a decompiler to get the code and has no clue about how to program java :-)

STOP CHEATING!

Now that you mentioned it, when someone writes all this piece of code and doesn't know what this thing is: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main then there is certainly something strange

first u dont need to write ur java program inside bin\jar..Its wrong.ok.If u want to run ur java program from any drive then u need to do following things..
To run form any drive
1) Right Click on MyComputer select properties then Advanced Setting then Environment Variable.
2) In user Variable select new..
in first line write path
2nd line %path%,D\.............\bin; then Ok
then select new
in first variable name write classpath
2nd box-> %classpath%,D\..........\lib;
press ok->ok....now come in any drive write javac if something comes with some help menu then u r ready to run ur program from any drive...otherwise do that once agian.

To run from any drive
write ur java program in any drive save it with filename.java
when want to compile then do one thing select the location like this E:\JDeveloper\jdev9034_win2000\jdk\lib;
then in console write
set classpath=%classpath%;E:\JDeveloper\jdev9034_win2000\jdk\lib; enter now ur able to compile as well as to run ur prog.
