Program to demonstrate how to read a file contents and convert it to String using Apache commons-io API in Java.

package com.hubberspot.apache.commons.examples;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

public class FileContentsToString {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Create a File object and pass name of the file along 
        // with its path whose contents is to be read 
        File file = new File("C:/Program Files/glassfish-3.1.2/glassfish/domains/" +
                "domain1/logs/server.log");

        try {

            // org.apache.commons.io package has a class by name
            // FileUtils which has a method called as readFileToString()
            // This method takes in a file object and return back 
            // contents of file in the form of String representing 
            // file contents as a String object  
            String fileContents = FileUtils.readFileToString(file);

            // In order to print the contents of file on the console
            // we just print the it on the console using 
            // System.out.println(String)
            System.out.println(fileContents);

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}
