Apache Commons has a nice implementation of Base64. You can do this as simply as:

// Encrypt data on your side using BASE64
byte[] bytesEncoded = Base64.encodeBase64(str .getBytes());
System.out.println("ecncoded value is " + new String(bytesEncoded));

// Decrypt data on other side, by processing encoded data
byte[] valueDecoded= Base64.decodeBase64(bytesEncoded );
System.out.println("Decoded value is " + new String(valueDecoded));

You can find more details about base64 encoding at Base64 encoding using Java and JavaScript.
