Sending an image from android client to google app engine

I'm writing a mobile android application which send an image (as Base64 encoded byte array) to a Google app engine server. On the server I want to supply the image I got from the client to a third party module which expects it to be a Bitmap. The problem is that I can't find a way to get create an image from the encoded byte array on GAE. Each thing I tried failed due to app engine restrictions: "x is not supported by Google App Engine's Java runtime environment".

Any suggestions?

Why not use the Image API setImageData method, which takes a byte array of image data to create an Image object that can be used with the rest of the image APIs?

That Google App Engine doesn't support some javax classes.

Would imageIO class if available solves your problem? then the possible answer is as follows:

  1. Download the classes of ImageIO class(see this question to know how)
  2. create your own jar file with those class files
  3. Add the jar file to your /WEB-INF/lib/ folder
  4. Use the ImageIO class in your application logic

Does this solutions seems to work?
