Loading a file not in the classpath into a Spring Resource?

Question

I currently have a Spring API service that takes a Base64 String img and decodes it.

String imageDataBytes = img.substring(img.indexOf(",")+1);
InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(Base64.decodeBase64(imageDataBytes));

I want to load contents of stream onto a Resource class. But so far my research is telling me I can only load resources through a URL or file path, which I don't have here. What can I do?

You can use ByteArrayResource. It takes a byte array in constructor. Here is the documentation .
