[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBCACHE-1289) VersionAwareMarshalle.objectFromStream implemention uses unreliable InputStream.available

VersionAwareMarshalle.objectFromStream implemention uses unreliable InputStream.available ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBCACHE-1289 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1289 Project: JBoss Cache Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Elias Ross Assigned To: Manik Surtani InputStream.available() may return less than the complete number of bytes available on the stream. The following does not work: @Override public Object objectFromStream(InputStream is) throws Exception { int avbl = is.available(); // MAY RETURN 1 ! byte[] bytes = new byte[avbl]; is.read(bytes, 0, avbl); return objectFromByteBuffer(bytes); } I want to be able to stream objects from the Amazon S3 service. The following does not work either: ObjectInputStream ois = new MarshalledValueInputStream(is); short versionId = ois.readShort(); Marshaller marshaller = getMarshaller(versionId); return marshaller.objectFromObjectStream(ois); I'm guessing ReusableObjectInputStream needs to be used and changed to actually support streams, not byte arrays! But I'm not too familiar with the mechanics.
