I need to keep a whole file as a serializable class field

Hi.
i need to save a file (zip file \ jpg ) in a serializable class

what type of field should i use?
obviously "FILE" is not good since it keeps the adress of the file only
i want to be able to send this serializable class via tcp to a server for further processing..

thanks

Use a simple byte[] (it is Serializable) and make your Zip stream write to a ByteArrayOutputStream ...
