Question

I am using Drools Planner which takes configuration by XML. The configure method is done this way (from the javadocs):

 XmlSolverConfigurer    configure(InputStream in)

 XmlSolverConfigurer    configure(Reader reader)

 XmlSolverConfigurer    configure(String resource)

The configure(String resource) takes a filename, not XML contents.

I want the configure method to accept XML contents in a string object. How do I make a string compatible with Reader or InputStream for the method to accept it?

For the curious: yes, I am doing things a bit convoluted to start with.

Answer 1

Use a StringReader.
