HttpServletRequest.getInputStream(), InputStream.read() doesn't work (it blocks) if tomcat uses apache as frontend. Any idea?

[Bojan]

Hi,

1) I am trying to send some data (content of a file)from an standalone command
line application to the servlet over the (http) stream. It works well.
2) When I am using apache as frontend to the tomcat, servlet blocks.
   It blocks when I try to read input stream:
   

 public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
    HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        BufferedReader inputFromClient = null;
        PrintWriter out                = null;
        BufferedWriter impFileWriter   = null;
        // BufferedReader inTest = null;
        
        try {
           // get an input stream from the applet
            inputFromClient = new BufferedReader(new                   
InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
            show("Connected");
            
            // writng initialization
            impFileWriter = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(importFile));
        
            // read the serialized student data from applet
            show("Importing data...");
            
            String str;
 
            while ((str = inputFromClient.readLine()) != null) {
               show(str);
               impFileWriter.write(str);
               impFileWriter.flush();
            }

3) InputStreamReader.ready() returns false....

Thoughts?


Thnx, Bojan
