如何从Java中的InputStream获取Ini文件的值？

Question

I've developed a Web Service in Java, and my client will upload an .ini file to the service using the API which definition is something like

public Response PostStreamInfo(@Context HttpServletRequest request,
        @PathParam("UniqueId") String uniqueId, InputStream inputStream) 
        {
            /* my code here */
        }

Now I want to convert the inputStream back into .ini format, and retreive some value. However, all methods I found to get .ini content is read from real file , none of them talk about how to transfer from inputstream .

Is my goal possible? Because I don't want to Store the .ini file, Read it, and Delete it only for 1 value I need, I think that's a waste of time. Or should I just use Json format instead of InputStream to transfer the content? Thanks!

Answer 1

Are you dealing with actual INI files or Java property files?

It looks like there's an Apache class that you could use via an InputStreamReader and the read method for INI files.

If you're just dealing with Java property files, there are read methods that take InputStreams and also Readers.
