ByteArrayOutputStream problem

[dzenanz]

ByteArrayOutputStream smsbuf = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(smsbuf, Charset.forName("8859_1"));
out.write("this gets lost");
ByteArrayInputStream smsinbuf = new ByteArrayInputStream(smsbuf.toByteArray());
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(smsinbuf, Charset.forName("8859_1")));

Problem: in is empty, as is the underlying buffer. smsbuf.toByteArray() returns empty array! What am I doing wrong?

This is one of the failed attempts to check convertibility to ASCII (see my other post )

Try to flush your 'out' writer before you try to get the byte array.

kind regards,

Yes, that must be it.

Thanks
