StringBufferInputStream has been deprecated; the documentation recommends you use StringReader instead. Yet, many stream-related methods in other classes (often those that predate the deprecation) will only accept an InputStream. How does one send an InputStream that came from an in-memory string?

Joseph Shelby Nearest I can figure out is you have to convert the String to its byte array, and pass that into a
ByteArrayInputStream. I had to do this because I was passing properties data over the 'net,
embeded as CDATA in XML, and I couldn't therefore pass the whole network stream over to
the Properties loader.
String s = ...; Properties p = new Properties(); byte[] bArray = s.getBytes(); ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(bArray); p.load(bais);
