Marvin, I'm not familiar with this method, but googling for
   org.apache.poi.util.IOUtils toByteArray
it looks like the Java signature for the method is this:
   static byte[] toByteArray(java.io.InputStream stream)

Your prototype is saying that the parameter is a java.io.FileInputStream.

You have to code the RPG prototype according to the Java signature, not 
necessarily according to the parameter you are passing.

So you can create your object as a java.io.FileInputStream, but you have 
to prototype the method parameter with class java.io.InputStream.  Java 
will understand that a FileInputStream object is valid to be passed when 
an InputStream is expected.
