I have an application which uses servletupload streaming api to receive multipart data from client.
There is no problem in normal scenario. For instance, an user hits a page in the browser and choose a file; then click submit button uploading the file to the server side. I also have an unit test program, in which I mock up an HttpServletRequest (derived from testProgressListener() in ProgressListenerTest.java ), which is an inputstream containing whole multipart content. The content may looks as A. In the sever side, there is a program whose responsibility is to, 1st, parse the request (as described in http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/streaming.html) and collect each item (FileItemStream) for later processing; 2nd, in the stage of processing, a while loop (as B) read the actual file uploaded and write to an output stream. While doing unit test, the error occurs in the 2nd stage where InputStream tries to read data into the byte array buffer (byte[] buf). The underlying MultipartStream throws MalformedStreamException with message 'Stream ended unexpectedly;' and the rest of the operation will be omitted. Then jump to the final block and close the stream. I notice that if commenting out the close statement (i.e. if(in!=null) in.close();), everything works fine (the rest of operation will be executed). I check the source code MultipartStream.java (line 983) and notice it is because in the function makeAvailable(), if the input stream (actual file uploaded) read to the end and return -1, then it throws MalformedStreamException("Stream ended unexpectedly"). Does that mean I should not close the stream because it is a stream read from socket, which is opened outside the scope of my program? Or what might be the root cause? I appreciate any suggestion. Thank you very much.
