Question

I’m trying to create a FileReader (not a Document) from an XMLResponse like this :

    // Parse XML Response
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder db = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
    InputSource inStream = new InputSource();
    inStream.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(XMLResponse));
    Document doc = db.parse(inStream);

But I don’t know how to use the InputSource to create it ?

Answer 1

You can’t create a FileReader, because the response may not be coming from a file. But, as it seems, you can obtain a Reader, which is the proper way to refer to readers.

If a method requires specifically a FileReader, the method is not designed properly.
