Help with InputStream

[Fredrik]

I'm having some problems with socketprogramming.
When I'm trying to read from the socket I can only read 8000 chars. Then
I have to loop and read again.
Is there a restriction or can I do it in another way.
I use the inputstream.availible() method to termin how much to read but it
always returns 8192 bytes even when there are more bytes to read therefor
I have to wait until the inputstream is full again (8192) so this is basically
a performance problem.

Hi,

You haven't mentioned whether you are Buffering or Not and What Streams you
are using ?

You can consider the following things:-

1) Buffering Data Output & Input
2) Reading Chunks of Data using read(byte []) and using the return value
to find out data is still there or not.
3) flush() on the Server part

Hope this helps
