Answer 1

You are not using a very good CSV reader if it won't
allow input from a stream. Have you looked at opencsv
from http://opencsv.sourceforge.net/ . This will
allow the construction of a CSV reader from a Reader
which of course can be constructed from an
InputStream.
Also, the CSV Parser from
http://ostermiller.org/utils/doc/ also allows input
from an InputStream so you can take your choice..I'll remember that going forward, however, way too much code would have to be changed now not just for CsvReader but XMLWriter, XMLReader, TextReader, HTMLReader, etc.
I am now trying to write a "function" that will render the files for me, but I'm running into a syntax snag here and I don't know how to solve it:
        InputStream in =
                myClass.getResourceAsStream(packagePath.replace(".", File.separator) +
                File.separator +
                fileName);
        try {
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filePath);
            int data;
            while ((data = in.read()) != null) {
                out.write(data);
            out.close();
            in.close();
            return FileFunctionality.isFile(filePath);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;
        }I am getting "Incompatible types: int and <nulltype>" at
          while ((data = in.read()) != null) {
                out.write(data);
            }And if I change "null" to false, I get "Incompatible types: int and boolean", and it just keeps going.
What on earth do I write?
