Thank you, I'll check this doc.

My only problem with this leading byte is that I have to manually add  
or remove it on the client side so that I can retrieve the data, even  
though the OtpInputStream and OtpOutputStream classes are supposed to  
be used to manipulate data in the Erlang external format. Am I  
missing something ?

 From the OtpOutputStream class documentation :
Provides a stream for encoding Erlang terms to external format, for  
transmission or storage.

Anyway my problem can be solved like this :

public void sendObject(OtpErlangObject O) throws XMPPException {
         OtpOutputStream stream = new OtpOutputStream();
         String data;
         stream.write((byte) 131); // add leading byte
         stream.write_any(O);
         data = Base64.encodeBytes(stream.toByteArray());

         sendMessage(data);
     }

public OtpErlangObject receiveObject(String encoded) throws  
OtpErlangDecodeException {
             byte[] decoded = Base64.decode(encoded);
             OtpInputStream stream = new OtpInputStream(decoded, 1,  
decoded.length - 1); // strip leading byte
             OtpErlangObject obj = OtpErlangObject.decode(stream);

             return obj;
     }


Regards,
