TP.receive() should also handle InputStreams -------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-2165 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-2165 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 4.0.2 Currently, {{TP.receive()}} is passed a byte[] buffer as parameter. This is OK for UDP and TCP_NIO2, however, in TCP we're dealing with a socket input stream. TcpConnection reads the length, then copies {{length}} bytes into a byte[] buffer and finally calls TP.receive() with the byte[] buffer as argument. The byte[] buffer and the copying of read data into it is superfluous if TP.receive() could also accept input streams as argument. Therefore introduce an additional {{TP.receive(InputStream in, int offset, int length}}, which reads directly from the socket's input stream and gets rid of the intermediate byte buffer.
