How best to convert a byte[] array to a string buffer
<p>I have a number of byte[] array variables I need to convert to string buffers.</p>

<p>is there a method for this type of conversion ? </p>

<p>Thanks </p>

<p>Thank you all for your responses..However I didn't make myself clear....
I'm using some byte[] arrays pre-defined as public static "under" the class declaration 
for my java program. these "fields" are reused during the "life" of the process. 
As the program issues status messages, (written to a file) I've defined a string buffer
(mesg_data) that used to format a status message. 
So as the program executes 
I tried msg2 = String(byte_array2) 
I get a compiler error:
cannot find symbol
symbol  : method String(byte[])
location: class APPC_LU62.java.LU62XnsCvr
         convrsID  =  String(conversation_ID) ;</p>

<p>example: </p>

<pre><code>public class LU62XnsCvr extends Object
           .
           .
static String convrsID ; 
static byte[] conversation_ID = new byte[8] ;
</code></pre>

<p>So I can't use a "dynamic" define of a string variable because the same variable is used
in multiple occurances. </p>

<p>I hope I made myself clear 
Thanks ever so much </p>
