Bing Search API

Question

I am using Bing Search API to my applet application and I used this code:

byte[] accountKeyBytes = Base64.encodeBase64((accountKey + ":" + accountKey).getBytes());
String accountKeyEnc = new String(accountKeyBytes);

I used commons-codec-1.7.jar and does not recognized the encodeBase64.

I have try everything, I have place the jar file through the project directory through source file.

Are you using maven or something similar? Maybe there is a dependency conflict because some other library pulls in an older version of commons-codec? — Simon, Dec 08 '14 at 11:30
Show the import statement. Maybe it's not using the correct Base64. — jmn, Dec 08 '14 at 12:53
import java.util.Base64; this is the import statement which i used — user3310978, Dec 08 '14 at 13:05
1) Always copy/paste error and exception output! 2) Describe the locations of the HTML and the Jar on the server. — Andrew Thompson, Dec 08 '14 at 23:29

Make sure your import statement is the following:

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

Have you added the commons-coded jar to the classpath? – jmn Dec 08 '14 at 13:27
yes I have added. The jar file is in the source directory. Is it okay? – user3310978 Dec 08 '14 at 13:32
How have you added it to the classpath? Just putting the jar in the source directory won't work. – jmn Dec 08 '14 at 13:35
Which IDE do you use? – jmn Dec 08 '14 at 13:41
Ok, I'm not familiar with Intellij, but have a look here on how to add jars: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1051640/correct-way-to-add-lib-jar-to-an-intellij-idea-project – jmn Dec 08 '14 at 13:47
