[jdom-interest] SAXBuilder hang when using InputStream

[Joseph Bowbeer]

See if this item in the FAQ helps:

 http://www.jdom.org/docs/faq.html
 Why does passing a document through a socket sometimes hang the parser?

Specifically: In your server, try reading the input stream into a buffer
before handing it off to SAXBuilder.

Subject: SAXBuilder hang when using InputStream

i try to build a document with SAXBuilder.build(java.io.InputStream);
The Inputstrem object is from a socket object.  My client create a
document and send it with XMLOutputter to a server.

<<< Client >>>
XMLOutputter printer = new XMLOutputter();
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(
tester.getOutputStream() ); // tester is a socket object
printer.output(doc,out);
out.flush();

<<< Server >>>
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(false);
Document doc = builder.build(in);  <<-- it never comes back from
builder.build().
XMLOutputter printer = new org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter();
try
{
    printer.output(data,System.out);
}
catch( java.io.IOException e ){e.printStackTrace();}

If the client closes the socket, I receive a the exception
org.jdom.JDOMException: Error in building: socket closed (code=0)

Sending the data (XMLOutputter.putput(doc,out) is working,
I checked these with a simple socket read on server side.

I tried these with JDOM 1.0Beta7 and with the latest version from CVS,
same error.

Has anybody an idear whats going wrong ?

Thanks,
