Class InputStreamResource

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.core.io.AbstractResource
      extended by org.springframework.core.io.InputStreamResource
All Implemented Interfaces:
InputStreamSource, Resource

public class InputStreamResource
extends AbstractResource

Resource implementation for a given InputStream. Should only be used if no specific Resource implementation is applicable. In particular, prefer ByteArrayResource or any of the file-based Resource implementations where possible.

In contrast to other Resource implementations, this is a descriptor for an already opened resource - therefore returning "true" from isOpen(). Do not use it if you need to keep the resource descriptor somewhere, or if you need to read a stream multiple times.
