I have created InputSource object using my entire string xml request in my application and I am trying to fetch entire xml request from the created InputSource reference. Please find below code snippet and advise some code/ways to get the xmlRequest from the InputSource reference.
org.xml.sax.InputSource is = new org.xml.sax.InputSource(new StringReader(xmlRequest));
Now I wish to get xmlRequest from InputSource reference 'is'.
Can anybody please help me on this.
If you can live with recreating the request from the Reader, it's simple too:
InputSource is=new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlRequest));
Reader r=is.getCharacterStream();
r.reset(); // Ensure to read the complete String
StringBuilder b=new StringBuilder();
int c;
while((c=r.read())>-1)
b.appendCodePoint(c);
r.reset(); // Reset for possible further actions
String xml=b.toString();
You can't get the String back out of the StringReader.
Either you assign the xmlRequest to a variable of its own or you have to create your own StringReader, which does that:
private static class OwnStringReader extends StringReader
{
private final String content;
public OwnStringReader(String content)
{
super(content);
this.content=content;
}
public String getContent()
{
return content;
}
}
Then you can retrieve your String by
InputSource is=new InputSource(new OwnStringReader(xmlRequest));
String xml=((OwnStringReader)is.getCharacterStream()).getContent();
String back out of the StringReader": of course you can. Just read all the characters, append then to a StringBuilder, and then get the string back from the builder.
