hi all,

i have a java code,

here "rs" is a result set.

ByteArrayInputStream byteStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(rs.getBytes(objName));

ObjectInputStream objStream = new ObjectInputStream(byteStream);

obj = objStream.readObject();

return obj;


i cant understand why it is used both "ByteArrayInputStream" and "ObjectInputStream"...?


can't i do this with one inputStream....?

please help me............!

thank you.....

The ObjectInputStream can only be created using another InputStream of some type. A quick look at the API docu would tell you this. So no, you can't. You could combine it all on one line rather than using itermediate statements, but the work done is the same and is only more confusing to look at.
