socket problem, plz help

[ezzat Al Hakeem]

my problem is

I have socket between server and a client
the client sending data to the server, so the server respond to the client with the response
this my code for receive the response data

os.write(getAuthenticationRedGreenInfoString());
os.flush();
Thread.sleep(3000);
DataInputStream is = new DataInputStream(mySocket.getInputStream());
int rr;
int nn = is.available();
if(nn > 0)
{
byte[] bb = new byte[100000];
rr = is.read(bb); // rr is Number of read bytes
}

look to the code, you can notice that I have 2 variables (nn) and (rr)
nn is the avialbe bytes in the InbutStream and
rr is the nubmer of byes did read from the InbutStream.

when i make a debug , nn = 8192 and rr = 22233 !!!


the question is HOW can I read _ALLl _ the received data from the InbutStream

waiting your help

The available() method returns the number of bytes that can be read *without* blocking.

The read() method *blocks* until it reads enough to fill the array, or an EOF is encountered.


If you only want to read the available bytes, then you need to either... read a byte at a time, or read into a part of the array. See the inputstream javadoc for more information.
