  • you can not serialise the Stream itselb. You have to read the data from strem and then you can serialize it. Commented Jan 25, 2016 at 7:50
  • Scott Carlson's answer doesn't do, at all, what you're doing in your code. Just read it again. Commented Jan 25, 2016 at 7:55

What you want to do is to copy the contents your FileSystemResource into the response's Outputstream:

InputStream in = fsr.getInputStream(); OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.copy(in, out);

What you were trying to do in your code is actually trying to serialize an object into the output stream of the response.
