I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "write to NULL" but if you just
need a sink for data, this will do:

package fubar;

import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;

public class WriteSink extends OutputStream {

     @Override
     public void write(int b) {
     }

     @Override
     public void write(byte[] b) {
     }

     @Override
     public void write(byte[] b, int offset, int len ) {
     }

     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
         DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream( new WriteSink() );

         System.out.println("Start write sink...");
         final int WRITES = 1*1000*1000;
         for( int i =0; i < WRITES; i++ ) {
             dos.write( i );
         }
         dos.flush();
         dos.close();
         System.out.println("Done.");
     }
}
