Class ByteArrayResource

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.core.io.AbstractResource
org.springframework.core.io.ByteArrayResource
All Implemented Interfaces:
InputStreamSource, Resource
Direct Known Subclasses:
TransformedResource, TransformedResource

public class ByteArrayResource extends AbstractResource
Resource implementation for a given byte array.

Creates a ByteArrayInputStream for the given byte array.

Useful for loading content from any given byte array, without having to resort to a single-use InputStreamResource. Particularly useful for creating mail attachments from local content, where JavaMail needs to be able to read the stream multiple times.

Since:
1.2.3

      Returns:
      the contents of this resource as byte array
      Throws:
      FileNotFoundException - if the resource cannot be resolved as absolute file path, i.e. if the resource is not available in a file system
      IOException - in case of general resolution/reading failures
