string from CipherOutputStream

[eyeofsoul]

hello..i got problem in my function. this function is for encrypt a string that was pass to this function.

void EncodeData( Cipher aCipher, String plaintext ) throws InvalidKeyException
{
    // initialize the Cipher in encrypt mode
    aCipher.init( Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, secretKey );
 
    byte[] outputArray = null;
 
    // produce a byte array from the string, using the platform's
    // default character set.
 
    outputArray = plaintext.getBytes( ); 
        System.out.println("Plaintext :" + plaintext );
        System.out.println( "Before = "+outputArray);
 
    FileOutputStream outfile = null;
 
    try {
        outfile = new FileOutputStream( new File( "soul.txt" ) );
    }
    catch( IOException e )
    { }
 
    // Create a CipherOutputStream
    CipherOutputStream out = new CipherOutputStream( outfile, aCipher );
 
    try {
        out.write( outputArray );
                out.flush( );
        out.close( );
                System.out.println("CipherText: ");
    }
    catch( IOException e )
    {
        e.printStackTrace( );
    }    
 
    // erase the unencrypted data
    java.util.Arrays.fill( outputArray, (byte)0 );
}    

instead of me writing the encrypted plaintext, i want to display the cipher text. i couldn't find the way. things that i try to displayed are not like in the soul.txt.
