String to InputStream
Posted (Johan Känngård) in Java on 2006-02-09

Arguments in many methods in the Java APIs are of the type InputStream. This is how to get an InputStream from a String, where argument to getBytes, UTF-8, is the encoding to use:

InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(myString.getBytes("UTF-8"));

Code is correct except for the particular overload of GetBytes. You should _always_ specify an encoding when calling GetBytes, e.g. myString.GetBytes(’UTF-8′). The bare form of GetBytes shouldn’t be used.

@Steve, I am embarrassed to see that I missed that in the code. Thanks for the heads up!
