public interface ContentStreamAccess
extends ContentAccess

This interface enables access to arbitrary document content such as a PDF. It could be fetched from the database or it could be generated on the fly.

This extension of ContentAccess should be used to serve up large binary content (e.g. video), rather than requiring the entire byte array to be held in memory.
