Is it possible to create a File object from InputStream
You need to create new file and copy contents from InputStream
to that file:
File file = //...
try(OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file)){
IOUtils.copy(inputStream, outputStream);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// handle exception here
} catch (IOException e) {
// handle exception here
}
I am using convenient IOUtils.copy()
to avoid manual copying of streams. Also it has built-in buffering.
In one line :
FileUtils.copyInputStreamToFile(inputStream, file);
(org.apache.commons.io)
Since Java 7, you can do it in one line even without using any external libraries:
Files.copy(inputStream, outputPath, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
See the API docs.
Create a temp file first.
File tempFile = File.createTempFile(prefix, suffix);
tempFile.deleteOnExit();
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(tempFile);
IOUtils.copy(in, out);
return tempFile;
