upload the file with javascript and set into the jsf bean property

I upload the files with javascript as following.

<h:form id="form1">
    <h:inputHidden binding="#{myBean.inputHidden}" value="#{myBean.fileData}" id="hidden2"/>
        <h3>Second way</h3>
        <input id="upload" type="file" onchange="imageChange(this)"/>
        <img src="#" height="150" id="image" />
        <h:commandButton value="submit" action="#{myBean.save()}"/>
    </h:form>
    <script>
    function readPicture(input, output) {
        alert("Helo ");
        if (input.files &amp;&amp; input.files[0]) {

            var reader = new FileReader();
            reader.onload = function(e)
            {               
                output.attr('src', e.target.result);
                alert(e.target.result);
                document.getElementById('form1:hidden2').value = e.target.result;
            };
            reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
            //reader.readAsArrayBuffer(input.files[0]);
        }
    }
    function imageChange(input) {
        alert("Helo " + input);
        var img = $("#image");
        readPicture(input, img);
    };


</script>

and I got the result like that

data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAk8AAAD2CAIAAABA//...

I used the readAsDataURL javascript method to show the image. I would like to convert the result into byte Array. Is there any way to convert the byte Array?

Let's supose you received the result in the server side (using the variable result).

First you need to remove the Data URI prefix:

result = result.substring(result.indexOf(','));

Then convert the base64 to byte[] using javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter:

byte[] buf = DatatypeConverter.parseBase64Binary(result);

Optionaly, you can remove the Data URI prefix in the client side if you want, instead of removing it in the server side (first step), by doing:

var result = reader.result.slice(reader.result.indexOf(',') + 1);
