base64encode altchars in java

What the java version of this python method?

http://docs.python.org/library/base64.html

base64.b64encode(s[, altchars]) Encode a string use Base64.

Optional altchars must be a string of at least length 2 (additional characters are ignored) which specifies an alternative alphabet for the + and / characters. This allows an application to e.g. generate URL or filesystem safe Base64 strings. The default is None, for which the standard Base64 alphabet is used.

..does java support altchars?

Apache Commons, Base64 has a constructor (and various static methods) for URL safe Base64 encoding:

Base64(int lineLength, byte[] lineSeparator, boolean urlSafe)

urlSafe - Instead of emitting '+' and '/' we emit '-' and '_' respectively. urlSafe is only applied to encode operations. Decoding seamlessly handles both modes.
