Hi -- ok,
Sina, on the other list you said I was taking the wrong approach. That is
altogether possible as I am pushing up against a few awkward bits of code
that should not be necessary, IMO, and I think you agree.
The awkwardness I am experiencing comes when a method needs to call another
method from another package, not written by me.
My class is now compiling, and I think should work, but I am having problems
with the test.main method.
What I'm wondering is either how to initialize this Byte array with the
characters of "This is a test.".
javac keeps barfing on that.
I pass this byte array to a method in my class, as input to the OutputStream
I am writing to. The reason I am passing this is because the
OutputStream/InputStream classes and their descendants contain the following
definitions respectively:
void write(Byte[] buf, int startPos, int len )
int read(Byte[] buf, int startPos, len);
Comments?
TIA
