Java：从TCP流中读取XML文件而不将其写入磁盘

Question

I would like to send a XML file from a server to client. The XML file has been generated by the XMLEncoder class and contains some persistent objects.

The client reads the XML file by using a XMLDecoder and storing the objects in a collection, but it's not necessary to write the file to disk. Is that possible? If so, how could it be done? Thanks.

Read the data from the socket instead of reading from a File. XMLDecoder takes an InputStream which can be the socket.getInputSteam();
