I have a relative file path (for example "/res/example.xls") and I would like to get an InputStream Object of that file from that path.
I checked the JavaDoc and did not find a constructor or method to get such an InputStream from a path/
Anyone has any idea? Please let me know!
Thank you
Use FileInputStream
:
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("/res/example.xls");
But never read from raw file input stream as this is terribly slow. Wrap it with buffering decorator first:
new BufferedInputStream(is);
BTW leading slash means that the path is absolute, not relative.
