尝试在GAE中使用Dropbox Java API下载文件

Question

I have an XML file on Dropbox that I want to access from my Google App Engine using the Dropbox Java API. After a bit of playing around I find the GAE doesn't support FileOutputStream .

FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream("myFile.txt");
try {
    DbxEntry.File downloadedFile = client.getFile("/myFile.txt", null,
        outputStream);
    System.out.println("Metadata: " + downloadedFile.toString());
} 

Any ideas how I can get the XML data into my GAE (client or server side) from Dropbox? Thanks Tim

Got it! Thanks. ByteArrayOutputStream worked. So for anyone else trying to read a DropBox file in a Google App Engine environment (ie read into memory), here is what worked for me

String fileName = "myfile.xml"; OutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); 
try { 
    dbxClient.getFile("/" + fileName, null, out); 
} catch (DbxException e) { 
    e.printStackTrace(); 
} 

System.out.println("File Contente: " + out.toString());
