>Environment:
Solaris x86 2.7, JDK 1.1.6/1.2.0
>Description:
getReader() and getInputStream() both fail to return anything when used with
a BufferedReader.
I have used the same code with quite a few other ServletRunners - WebSphere,
Zeus, ServletRunner, Java Web Server, and two versions have always worked
flawlessly with BufferedReader.
>How-To-Repeat:
The following servlet code does not work. It causes no exceptions, ready
simply does not ever return true, for either getReader() or getInputStream()
if (aMethod.equals("POST")) {
// This change is to work around a bug in WebSphere
// BufferedReader reader = aRequest.getReader();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(aRequest.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
char[] vCharBuffer = new char[1024];
int vNumRead = 0;
while (reader.ready()) {
vNumRead = reader.read(vCharBuffer, 0, 1024);
buf.append(vCharBuffer, 0, vNumRead);
}
content = buf.toString();
}
>Fix:
You guys no doubt no more about java streams than I do. :)
