[jbosscache-dev] Re: Integrating steaming transfer in JBC

[Vladimir Blagojevic]

Is it not that whenever you close OIS#1 (as you do in step 3) close call
is passed to underlying inputstream which would close actual tcp
inputstream passed up by jgroups layer? We need some "end of in-memory
state" marker?
