Convert AD's objectGUID to string

[Anonymous]

Hi!
I need to convert an Active Directory's objectGUID (which is binary data) to a string (like "9698dc61-89f0-42b9-90c8-b54aee97d4ff").
How can I do it?

Create a routine and add this method to it:

	
public static String toHexString(byte[] bin) {
     StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
     for (byte b : bin) {
	sb.append(Integer.toHexString(b));
     }
     return sb.toString();
}

Thanks, jlolling!
The solution produce output like "61ffffffdcffffff98ffffff96fffffff0ffffff89ffffffb942ffffff90ffffffc8ffffffb54affffffeeffffff97ffffffd4ffffffff" (instead of 9698dc61-89f0-42b9-90c8-b54aee97d4ff), but you have pointed me to right way, so I'll try to use existing java examples to generate required string.
If anybody have the complete solution for generation GUID in AD style, post it here, please.

Yes, the values you get are 4-byte digits. My code was made for 1-byte digits.
