The following should work (taken from Jt.InputStream component)
It uses read and a buffer. It also checks for maxLenght (which you
probably
don't need). Keep in mind that read may return less bytes than
requested.
At least something like this should give you an idea of what is
happening (exceptions,
log messages, etc)
try {
handleTrace ("readStream:available:" +
istream.available ());
while ((len = istream.read (buf, 0, bufferSize)) > 0)
{
handleTrace ("readStream:" + len);
buffer1 = new byte [len];
i = 0;
while (i < len) {
buffer1[i] = buf[i];
i++;
}
buff.setBuffer (buffer1);
if (readStream) {
count += len;
if (count > maxLength) {
handleError ("maxLenth exceeded:" +
maxLength);
return (null);
}
if (sbuffer == null)
sbuffer = new StringBuffer ();
sbuffer.append(new String (buffer1));
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
handleException (e);
return (null);
}
return (sbuffer!=null?sbuffer.toString():null);
