I want to implement FIFO (First in First out) approach in Java.
The requirement is as following, 1)I receive string data in
chunks after some time interval. 2)I want to write it in FIFO
buffer having a fixed size i.e. only fixed number of data can be
stored(say 5). 3)Then I will pick one by one from the buffer for
further processing. 4)After I pick from the buffer it should be
deleted from the buffer and the space can be allocated for
further data addition. Can anybody guide/ tell me how ti achieve
this??? Thnx in advance. "JavaRanch, where the deer and the

Cindy, but can you elaborate on this. As my understanding of
BufferedInputStream is I can take i/p faster. How to achieve

you need an array to put the input to (the size of the array is
your fixed size). two indexes: one for the index to write to and
one for the index to read from. then you also have to check some
conditions: is there
