Hi,

It's a standard java.io.InputStream. See the javadocs for example at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/InputStream.html.

A common pattern I use when processing stream data is:

    InputStream data = ...;
    try {
        byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
        for (int n = data.read(buffer); n != -1; n = data.read(buffer)) {
            // process n bytes of data in buffer
        }
    } finally {
        data.close();
    }

Note especially the finally branch used to guarantee that the stream
gets closed even if an error occurs.

No problem, stupid is the one who doesn't ask. :-)
