Urgent: Please Help!! Ways to cast String to Resource (org.springframework.core.io.Resource)

[vicky chauhan]

Hello All,

I have a class with a resource property of type Resource in spring (org.springframework.core.io.Resource)which takes a file object as input.

setResource(Resource resource) 
{
 this.resource = resource;
}

However, I am reading a remote document through another custom API which returns the contents of the document as a String.

String xml = document.getContent();

I want to pass this xml as Resource in my setResource method. However, I don't know how can I cast String into Resource.

Any ideas ??

Thanks,
Nik

Got it!!

String xml = document.getContent(); 
Resource resource = new ByteArrayResource(xml.getBytes()); 
setResource(resource);
