PrimeFaces 8.0 DefaultStreamedContent.builder().stream() asks for SerializableSupplier<InputStream>


In PrimeFaces 8.0 the DefaultStreamedContent cannot be initialized like new DefaultStreamedContent(inputStream, contentType, name) because it has been deprecated, instead you shound use DefaultStreamedContent.builder().

Although while doing .stream() it asks for a SerializableSupplier<InputStream> instead of an InputStream like in the version before 8.0.

DefaultStreamedContent.builder().contentType(contentType).name(name).stream(is).build();
                                                                            ^^

How can I convert a InputStream to a SerializableSupplier?


Solution

  • Everthing is in the migration guide here: https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces/wiki/Migration-Guide.

    in general the following will work:

    DefaultStreamedContent.builder().contentType(contentType).name(name).stream(() -> is).build();
    

    But the idea behind the change is a different.
    If you use a RequestScoped bean to build the StreamedContent, your bean and therefore the StreamedContent will be created twice:

    1. when rendering the view
    2. when streaming the resource (this is a new browser request!)

    In this case, your is will probably created 2 times. Most of the times this results in 1 useless IO access or DB call.

    To only create the is one time, you should lazy initialize it via the supplier lambda:

    DefaultStreamedContent.builder().contentType(contentType).name(name).stream(() -> new FileInputStream(....)).build();
