I am using getClass.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("abc.txt") which returns of type Inputstream, to get the filepath which works fine. Now i need to pass the the filepath to streamresult but it has a constructor : StreamResult(new FileOutputStream()). How do i pass the filepath which is of type inputstream to to streamresult.

I am reading an xml file and displaying that data in a jsp file. From the jsp file i am setting a flag which writes data back to the xml file. TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer().transform(new DOMSource(ds.getOwnerDocument()), new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(pathFile)));. So pathFile is the file to which i want to write data to. I just cannot pass abc.txt in place of pathFile because i need the absoulte file path.

What are you trying to do? Read a file? Or write a file? – bkis Jun 14 '17 at 16:52
Looks like you need to copy `abc.txt` to another place, right? – Andriy Kryvtsun Jun 14 '17 at 16:53

It is that simple: Using `getResoureceAsStrream()` means, the file is stored somewhere in the classpath. This means it is read-only. You cannot modify it. You have to save the file to another place, as @Andriy Kryvtsun suggested. – vanje Jun 14 '17 at 18:33
