[jmsl] Passing MusicShape to PHP

[jmsl at music.columbia.edu]

You can use a separate ByteArrayOutputStream to capture the 
MusicShape.save() output, and then write the entire contents of the 
ByteArrayOutputStream to our dataoutputstream.

Something like:

        ByteArrayOutputStream bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(bout);
        try {
            m.save(out);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        out.close();
 //       bout.close(); // need to close? not sure
        // now the ByteArrayOutputStream has stored the contents of 
everything musicshape wrote to PrintWriter
        System.out.println("bout.toByteArray(), you can write this to a 
data output stream " + bout.toByteArray().length);
        // dos.writeBytes(bout.toByteArray());


Thanks,
Nick Didkovsky
