Jukka Zitting commented on IO-158:
----------------------------------
Design-wise I prefer the iBatis/XMLBeans alternatives as they use an
OutputStreamWriter instead of new String(...).getBytes(...) for translating
characters to bytes.
Functionally they are the same, but the OutputStreamWriter approach is nicely
analogous with the reverse stream designs we've been discussing in IO-71. A
ReaderInputStream is simply a reversed OutputStreamWriter.

> The standard Java class InputStreamReader converts a Reader into an
> InputStream. In some cases it is necessary to do the reverse, i.e. to convert
> a Reader into an InputStream. Several frameworks and libraries have their own
> implementation of this functionality (google for "ReaderInputStream"). Among
> these are at least four Apache projects: Ant, iBatis, James and XMLBeans.
> Commons IO would be a good place to share a common implementation.
