Non-Deprecated StringBufferInputStream equivalent

Question

I'm working with LogManager.readConfiguration() which requires an InputStream whose contents I'd like to come from a string. Is there an equivalent of StringBufferInputStream that's not deprecated, such as a ReaderToInputStreamAdaptor?

Answer 1

Use the ByteArrayInputStream, and be careful to specify an appropriate character encoding. e.g.

ByteArrayInputStream(str.getBytes("UTF8"));

You need to worry about the character encoding to determine how each character is converted to a set of bytes. Note you can use the default getBytes() method and specify the encoding the JVM runs with via -Dfile.encoding=...

Answer 2

See java.io.ByteArrayInputStream

String s = "test";
InputStream input = new ByteArrayInputStream(s.getBytes("UTF8"));
