What kind of data will return this input stream?<br />
<br />
Normally - you should do this by starting a thread that reads the data. The main thread will start the it and sleep for the period of the timeout (for example using 'this.sleep(timeout)'. If the second thread reads data - it will notify the first thread about this - for example 'mainThread.notify()'

One problem may be that many IO call will block, and cannot be interrupted making it difficult to achieve what you require.<br />
Can I ask why you need this?<br />

Hi, I am looking for an efficient implementation of InputStream whit timeout, like in sockets<br />
<br />
The constructor of this Inputstream should get a timeout parameter<br />
The read method should throw IOException if waiting on read exceeds this timeout. <br />

TimeOut in Inputstream

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
