XInputStream derived from XComponent

[Freddieric]

Is there a way to derive an XInputStream or InputStream in the service XComponent?

It is not clear what you are asking.

Clearly, XInputStream inherits from XInterface.

It would be possible to implement your own service, which implements both interfaces XInputStream and XComponent, and other interfaces. Why you would want to do so, or whether building a custom service is what you want to do is unclear.

Please be more specific, XInputStream and InputStream are two different things (one is a service and one is an interface).
Also please do provide the reason or at least what the goal is youre trying to achieve.

Ok, sorry for that.

On my program, i already have XComponent object. This object holds the whole document right? On that object, is there any way i can transform it into XInputStream, or any stream?

My goal is, to get an inputstream for me to directly put it on the Servlet response output stream. What i am doing is, reading the template document (.sxw), then populate data to the template via servlet, save it to temporary file. Then through that temporary file, i can load it in servlet. Because it is easy to get the inputstream. What i want is to not save it to temporary file, instead, transform the template document with the populated data into a stream and directly display that in the browser. So i am asking if there is a way that the XComponent, because i dont see any method to get its input stream, be tranformed into inputstream.

Hope this is clear.

Thanks!

This very question was asked some weeks back. See this.....

I also recall seeing somewhere recently, a Java class that implemented XOutputStream, and saved the result in memory to a large array of byte. Then a Java stream could be connected to the array of bytes, and to the http response. This approach is almost like saving to a temporary file first, but in memory. I don't remember if I saw this on OOoForum or on the API mailing list.
