Byte Array in REST Service response - GET method
I have a REST service which return a byte Array in the response payload. Just the byte Array , nothing else. This byte array is the file sent by the service provider.
How do I map that byte array and get the content and show it on the Pega side ?
1. Mapping the byte array to a temp property, gives me the byte array as a raw string, how do I use that string as a byte array as it is ?
Any other way of mapping the response in the REST response which could help ?

Yes .. we were able to get that working some how with the below code snippet:
java.net.HttpURLConnection httpUrlConn = (java.net.HttpURLConnection)ssURL.openConnection();
//Set the REST request headers and body on httpURLConn using httpUrlConn.setRequestProperty(<HeaderName>, <VALUE>);

Thanks Kevin , but this post talks about sending the byte array out of Pega in post method.
I am looking for my connector to get the response from the service provider, I am consuming the service which send me byte array , which I need to consume and read the file.

Depends on what the byte array represents. For example, if its a file, take a look at Pega API service pzGetPRConfigFile.
