Why are you using streams in the first place?
Take a step back and examine the problem here. Can't this be simply
accomplished by giving those things an object?
Barring that ... Giving them the whole stream, and letting them pump in/out
what they need?
Take care,
Sina

Subject: [brailleblaster] java Byte arrays and string literals
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
