public static byte[] getBytesFromInputStream(InputStream is) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); 
    byte[] buffer = new byte[0xFFFF];
    for (int len = is.read(buffer); len != -1; len = is.read(buffer)) { 
        os.write(buffer, 0, len);
    }
    return os.toByteArray();
}

你可以使用Cactoos(我是它的开发者之一):

import org.cactoos.bytes.BytesOf;
byte[] array = new BytesOf(stream).asBytes();

你也可以将流转换为字符串:

import org.cactoos.text.TextOf;
String txt = new TextOf(stream).asString();

asBytes()和asString()方法都会抛出checked Exception。如果你不想捕获它，使用Unchecked*装饰器，例如:

import org.cactoos.bytes.BytesOf;
import org.cactoos.bytes.UncheckedBytes;
byte[] array = new UncheckedBytes(new BytesOf(stream)).asBytes();

如果有人还在寻找一个没有依赖的解决方案，如果你有一个文件。

DataInputStream

 byte[] data = new byte[(int) file.length()];
 DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
 dis.readFully(data);
 dis.close();

ByteArrayOutputStream

 InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
 ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 int nRead;
 byte[] data = new byte[(int) file.length()];
 while ((nRead = is.read(data, 0, data.length)) != -1) {
     buffer.write(data, 0, nRead);
 }

RandomAccessFile

 RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(file, "r");
 byte[] data = new byte[(int) raf.length()];
 raf.readFully(data);

使用普通Java的DataInputStream和它的readFully方法(至少从Java 1.4开始存在):

...
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) file.length()];
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
dis.readFully(bytes);
...

这个方法还有其他一些形式，但在这个用例中，我一直使用这个方法。

/*InputStream class_InputStream = null;
I am reading class from DB 
class_InputStream = rs.getBinaryStream(1);
Your Input stream could be from any source
*/
int thisLine;
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
while ((thisLine = class_InputStream.read()) != -1) {
    bos.write(thisLine);
}
bos.flush();
byte [] yourBytes = bos.toByteArray();

/*Don't forget in the finally block to close ByteArrayOutputStream & InputStream
 In my case the IS is from resultset so just closing the rs will do it*/

if (bos != null){
    bos.close();
}

20年后，终于有了一个不需要第三方库的简单解决方案，这要感谢Java 9:

InputStream is;
…
byte[] array = is.readAllBytes();

还要注意方便的方法readNBytes(byte[] b, int off, int len)和transferTo(OutputStream)来解决重复的需求。
