Hi Vincent,
I think OutputStream convert(InputStream inputStream,
OfficeDocumentType inputDocumentType, OfficeDocumentType
outputDocumentType) is not appropriate.
The OutputStream is a place to write data to. I just can't get the
data from the OutputStream.
But why would you want to get data from it! You should only write to
it inside convert() :)
It's the user of it who may want to get the data and this is easy
since he just have to use a StringBuffer/String as the underlying
storage mechanism.
So yes it definitely seem the correct way to do it.
Thanks

I think the OutputStream should be a special outputStream the user
provide, so I have these to proposals for this interface:
1. ByteArrayOutputStream convert(InputStream inputStream,
OfficeDocumentType inputDocumentType, OfficeDocumentType
outputDocumentType)
return type change to ByteArrayOutputStream. Then client can use
ByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray() to get the contents in
OutputStream.
2. void convert(InputStream inputStream, OfficeDocumentType
inputDocumentType, OutputStream outputStream, OfficeDocumentType
outputDocumentType)
Client provide a output Target to store the contents. Example:
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
convert(inputStream, inputDocumentType, outputStream,
outputDocumentType)
WDYT?
