What to import to use IOUtils.toString()?












17















I am trying to use IOUtils.toString() to read from a file.
However, I am getting an error saying "IOUtils cannot be resolved."



What am I supposed to be importing to allow me to use this function?



String everything = IOUtils.toString(inputStream);


Thanks

import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;



If you still can't import add to pom.xml:



<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
</dependency>


or for direct jar/gradle etc visit:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/commons-io/commons-io/2.5



Also since version 2.5 of commons-io method IOUtils.toString(inputStream) has been deprecated. You should use method with Encoding i.e.



IOUtils.toString(is, "UTF-8");

Alternatively you can try following way. It worked for me for reading public key for resource server



        final Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("public.key");
String publicKey = null;
try {
publicKey = new String(Files.readAllBytes(resource.getFile().toPath()), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
