StringReader instead of StringBufferInputStream 1

[harmmeijer]

Ok so StringBufferInputStream has been deprecated and according to the following url you should use StringReader.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/io/StringBufferInputStream.html

My problem is that I need to convert a string into an InputStream not a Reader, I can parse the InputStream to (for example) SAXParser.parse.
This method does not take a Reader as a parameter.
Reader and InputStream are inconvertible types.

So how do I use StringReader to create an InputStream from a String?

At the moment I use new ByteArrayInputStream to create an InputStream from a String:

new ByteArrayInputStream(myString.getBytes())

You can use an InputSource since it can be constructed from a Reader or an InputStream. There is a method:

SAXParser.parse(InputSource, HandlerXXX);

Hope this helps.

Yes thanks, I have changed my class that handles the processing of incomming xml:

Thread tt = new Thread(new processIncommingXMLMessage(new InputSource(new StringReader(sbIn.toString())),this));

constructor for processIncommingXMLMessage:
public processIncommingXMLMessage(InputSource is,burrowing.SimpleChatServer caller){
this.inpSrc = is;
this.caller = caller;
}

and the run method:
public void run(){
try{
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
saxParser.parse(inpSrc,this);



I had to change all the code where I created a new instance of processIncommingXMLMessage though.
