Question

I have a function that accepts File as an argument. I don’t want to create/write a new File (I don’t have write access to filesystem) in order to pass my string data to the function. I should add that the String data don’t exist in a file (so I cannot read my data from a file).

Can I use Streams and “cast” them to File objects?

Answer 1

No; instances of class File represent a path in a filesystem. Therefore, you can use that function only with a file. But perhaps there is an overload that takes an InputStream instead?
