public static void createFile(String filePath, byte[] fileBytes) {
File file = new File(filePath);
if (file.exists()) {

}
try {
File dir = file.getParentFile();
if (!dir.exists()) {
dir.mkdirs();
}
file.createNewFile();
} catch (Exception e) {
LogUtil.error(e);
}
try (InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileBytes); OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file)) {
final int MAX = 4096;
byte[] buf = new byte[MAX];
for (int bytesRead = in.read(buf, 0, MAX); bytesRead != -1; bytesRead = in.read(buf, 0, MAX)) {
out.write(buf, 0, bytesRead);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
LogUtil.error(e);
MSException.throwException(Translator.get("upload_fail"));
}
}
