How do I convert a String object to a character Stream

[DCCoolBreeze]

I have a string object that is holding the contents of an XML file. I need to parse the XML (SAX). The parser expects an InputSource object. This object will allow a character stream or a byte stream.

How is this done in Java. In fact, what is the difference between a String object and a character Stream object besides the fact that the Stream object is not bounded by length????

new InputStream( new StringReader( yourString));
