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

Method Details

getByteArray

public final byte[] getByteArray()

Return the underlying byte array.

exists

public boolean exists()

This implementation always returns true.

Specified by:

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()
                           throws IOException

This implementation returns a ByteArrayInputStream for the underlying byte array.

Returns:

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

Throws:

IOException - if the content stream could not be opened
