I'm always glad if I can give you some advice how to achieve the goal 
you're after - but I can't and won't do the compilation-error 
interpreting for you. Besides that this will be way to slow over email 
and a time-zone difference of  probably several hours....

The error clearly states whats wrong - FileReader doesn't have a 
constructor of type InputStream. Most probably you won't a FileReader 
here, as you don't have a File - you have an InputStream. Maybe things 
work if you simply remove the FileReader at all.

I admit that ist sometimes tedious to work through the hierarchy of 
java.io classes - but a close look to the javadocs usually does the trick.
