This is the method I use to encode text into Base64:

```auto
function encodeBase64FromText(_sInputString) {
   var _oEncoder = Packages.org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64,
       _oJString = Packages.java.lang.String;
   return new _oJString(_oEncoder.encodeBase64(new _oJString(_sInputString).getBytes()));
};

```

So my guess is that it should work with bytes as well like so:

```auto
function encodeBase64FromBytes(_aBytes) {
   var _oEncoder = Packages.org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64,
       _oJString = Packages.java.lang.String;
   return new _oJString(_oEncoder.encodeBase64(_aBytes));
};

```

Hope this helps.
