Dear All,
I have a problem over here, in the transfer of file from my client machine to the server machine....I am zipping the file in the client machine and sending to the server machine....In the server machine I am trying to unzip it and write it over there....
For contacting my server, initially i am getting the authentication.....it is all correct....no problem with the authentication work...the problem over here is.............i am having 3 files to be transfered to my server machine...the first file is getting transfered....after that the command prompt is just standing idle....it is not even coming to the prompt state...it is not even thowing any errors in the server console or in the client machine....

Below is my complete code....
Client program: (simple java program)

String filename = zipentry.getName().substring(slash);
File file1 = new File(directory + File.separator + filename);
BufferedOutputStream bufferedoutputstream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file1));
byte abyte0[] = new byte[1024];
for(int index = 0; (index = zipinputstream.read(abyte0)) > 0
bufferedoutputstream.write(abyte0, 0, index);
bufferedoutputstream.flush();
bufferedoutputstream.close();
zipinputstream.closeEntry();
zipinputstream.close();
}
}
catch(IOException ioexception)
{System.out.println("IOException occured in the Server: " + ioexception);}
} // end of the method...
} // end of the class
P.S: Here, I am using the Domino Server, which is same as the Web Logic Server......Pl. post a reply....hanging over here for the past one week...any suggestion is highly appreciated....

After wasting around 5 hrs, i have found that the statement
"InputStream in = urlconnection.getInputStream();" (in the client program)
is making the comand prompt to be idle....is it a bug with sun java....or is there any solution for this......i mean the link with the server, is just as it is without disconnecting....

This is just my guess answer based on my knowledge of HTTP protocol. You might have to test my suggestions. Basically in HTTP protocol, (in Java) you cannot get the OutputStream(for writing a file content through it) again, once you got the InputStream. In your program, you have made a single connection only and tried to reuse it again and again using the zipper method. You might have done this with optimized usage of resource (connection) in mind but this is not allowed in HTTP protocol. Another mistake in your code is that you are closing the zippedoutputstream. The zippedoutputstream is a wrapper around outputstream of the HTTPUrlconnection. So closing zippedoutputstream will automatically close the outputstream of HTTPUrlconnection also which means you cannot use the outputstream of HTTPUrlconnection again.
Ok. Let me stop throwing theories behind the problem with the program. I will suggest you a possible solution.
For every file that you send open a new httpurlconnection and close it as soon as you are finished sending the file. I am sure this will solve your problem. One more suggestion is to print the stack trace of the exception on the command line when you catch the exception. This will help you to identify any problem.

yea,
thanks friend...thanks a lot!!! i did it finally...the changes i made for this to work are,
opening and closing the connection for each & every file....
second thing is, i am trying to send some dummy string from my server side, as follows...
String s="111";
ObjectOutputStream obj = new ObjectOutputStream(httpservletresponse.getOutputStream());
obj.writeObject(s);
obj.flush();
obj.close();
bye & have a nice day,
Sakthivel S.
