[Juglist] getting an InputStream from a String

[Richard O. Hammer]

I am trying to get an InputStream from a String.  Can somebody tell me 
the easy way?

In my SDK 1.4.0, I notice java.io.StringBufferInputStream.  That would 
help but it is deprecated.  The Javadoc for that class says I can get 
my stream from a string "via the StringReader class", but I have not 
seen an easy way.

Maybe they mean I am supposed to do something like this:

import java.io.*;

class StringInputStream extends InputStream{

  StringReader stringReader;

  StringInputStream(String inString){
    stringReader = new StringReader(inString, "ASCII");
  }
  public int read() throws IOException{
    return stringReader.read();
  }
}
What do you think?  Is that what I need to do?  Or is there a more 
direct way in the API which I have not discovered?

Thank you,
Rich Hammer
