>Release: Apache 1.3.9 + JServ 1.0 (though 1.1b1 has bug - I looked)
>Environment:
Linux + jdk1.1.7b (not that it matters, I located and fixed the bug... See
later)
>Description:
After getting the InputStream, any call to available always returns a 0.
>How-To-Repeat:
Well, call available() on the InputStream (i.e. JServInputStream) and
you'll always always get a 0.
>Fix:
The default implementation of InputStream.available() merely returns a 0
at all times. Someone just forgot to override the method. Just add the
following to the JServInputStream inner class in JServConnection:
public int available()
{
return((int)available);
}
Voila, and our servlet now runs properly. Note that I had to cast to int
since that's what the InputStream method returns. So you might as well
make that available variable an int rather than a long in this case.
Up to you guys.
Don't ya just love open source? How long would it have taken me to
find this if I didn't have the source? Yikes... Once a programmer
goes open source, it's hard to go back. The advantages are just too
huge. CLosed source APIs are a stupid idea.
Keep up the good work folks! Everybody appreciates it.
