Class InputStreamResource

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.core.io.AbstractResource

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.

Constructor Detail

InputStreamResource

public InputStreamResource(InputStream inputStream)

Create a new InputStreamResource.

Parameters:

inputStream - the InputStream to use

InputStreamResource

public InputStreamResource(InputStream inputStream,
                           String description)

Create a new InputStreamResource.

Parameters:

inputStream - the InputStream to use

description - where the InputStream comes from

Method Detail

exists

public boolean exists()

This implementation always returns true.

Specified by:

exists in interface Resource

Overrides:

exists in class AbstractResource

isOpen

public boolean isOpen()

This implementation always returns true.

Specified by:

isOpen in interface Resource

isOpen in class AbstractResource

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()
                           throws IOException,
                                  IllegalStateException

This implementation throws IllegalStateException if attempting to read the underlying stream multiple times.

Returns:

the input stream for the underlying resource (must not be null)

Throws:

IOException - if the stream could not be opened
