Pipe data from InputStream to OutputStream in Java
- by Wangnick
Dear all,
I'd like to send a file contained in a ZIP archive unzipped to an external program for further decoding and to read the result back into Java.
ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(ZIPPATH));
Process decoder = new ProcessBuilder(DECODER).start();
???
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
decoder.getInputStream(),"us-ascii"));
for (String line = br.readLine(); line!=null; line = br.readLine()) {
...
}
What do I need to put into ??? to pipe the zis content to the decoder.getOutputStream()? I guess a dedicated thread is needed, as the decoder process might block when its output is not consumed.
