About InputStream

[Afroz Khan]

Hi
I m reading an image from access database. I m using the result set method calles "getBinaryStream" which returns me a InputStream object.
Can anyone tell me, what does this Input Stream method contains, and how do i save the image to the hard disk.
Thanks

It should contain the image data.
Just read each of the bytes from the stream and write them to a file.

byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
FileOutputStream out = new FileOUtputStream("image.img");
int read;
while((read = in.read(buffer) != -1){
  out.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
in.close();
out.close();
