Question

I’m parsing a ServletRequest object(well, a HttpServletRequest really)
Have 2 parameters there, one of them I know to have a value which is an XML file.

How can I retrieve that XML as Doc or byte[] or similar, rather than String?

Answer 1

• You can convert String to byte[] easily enough using its getBytes() function.

• If you want a Doc, you’ll have to parse it. To do that, you can get a DocumentBuilder from DocumentBuilderFactory and let that parse() a ByteArrayOutputStream wrapped around that byte array.
