I am creating a client - server application that will process lines like:
startjob
adduser
adduser
adduser
adduser
endjob
adduser can be an unlimited amount of times. I want to process the
lines as they come into the Servlet, that way a seperate process could
be doing something to complete each of the tasks, while I am in the
process of working on reading the lines.
I have written a Socket server of my own to do this before, I am now
trying to use Tomcat Servlet to do the same thing, because Tomcat
already some behind the scenes stuff already setup.
Does this make sense? Am I totally off my rocker? (My wife would
definately agree with that last bit.)

Why do you want to read POST by using reader ? I only use the stream from

Hm, the reason I asked, is because of a test I ran. strLine is always
null.
Using the following code for processRequest:
response.setContentType("text/plain");
m_out = response.getWriter();
m_bufRead = request.getReader();
while (true) {
strLine = m_bufRead.readLine();
if (strLine != null) {
if (strLine.startsWith("login")) {
ProcessLogin();
} else if (strLine.startsWith("exit")) {
break;
}
} else {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
m_bufRead = null;
m_out.close();
