Converting StreamingOutput to a string

Question

I am trying to convert StreamingOutput to string in Java to pass it to another method. It produces the string but it raises the following error later on.

JAXRSUtils logMessageHandlerProblem Severe: Problem with writing the data, ContentType: text/plain

What's happening?

StreamingOutput stream = method1();
ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
stream.write(output);
String string = new String(output.toString("UTF-8"));


...
public StreamingOutput method1(...){..}

`

Can we see a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example which demonstrates your problem? — Dan

This is what I have got. It seems stream.write changes to a byte array and its return type should be text. Don't know how to resolve it. — user2307087

Try initialising stream. So StreamingOutput stream = new StreamingOutput(); — Dan

Thanks Dan. I forgot to put the method1(). stream gets the stream from method1(). — user2307087

I am having trouble finding StreamingOutput. Would you mind linking me to the library you are using so that I can test the problem? — Dan

I believe you did not properly convert OutputStream to String properly. Please try the code below:

StreamingOutput stream = method1();
ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
stream.write(output);
String string = new String(output.toByteArray(), "UTF-8");


...
public StreamingOutput method1(...){..}

Thanks all. Solved.

The output was char array, not byte array, so it solved in that way. Thanks anyway.
