Create a Java File object (or equivalent) using a byte array in memory (without a physical file)

Question

I want to create a Java File object in memory (without creating a physical file) and populate its content with a byte array.

Can this be done?

Answer 1

Can you paste the full stack trace? There is no such thing as an "in memory" file. Using a ByteArrayInputStream should be sufficient.

You need to implement Resource#getFilename(). Try the following:

helper.addInline("cImage", new ByteArrayResource(imageByteArr){
            @Override
            public String getFilename() {
                return fileName;
            }
        });
