> Trying to write a large byte array to a FileOutputStream may cause OOME.
> This is because such output requires the use of native code, and native code may need to copy the array in order to access it safely, see:
> http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/design.html#wp1265
> It might therefore be useful to have a method which writes from the byte array in chunks. One can create a ByteArrayInputStream from the input, and then use one of the copy() methods, but that creates an unnecessary array buffer (albeit only 4k).
> There are already write methods which copy byte[] to OutputStream and char[] to Writer.
> Some or all of these could be converted to use chunked output, or there could be new methods to implement the chunking.
> Here is a sample implementation of a stand-alone method:
> {code}
> public static void writeChunked(byte[] data, OutputStream output) throws IOException {
>     int bytes = data.length;
>     int offset = 0;
>     while(bytes > 0) {
>         int chunk = Math.min(bytes, DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
>         output.write(data, offset, chunk);
>         bytes -= chunk;
>         offset += chunk;
>     }
> }
> {code}
