int	doRead(ByteChunk chunk) Read from the input stream into the given buffer.

Method Detail

doRead

int doRead(ByteChunk chunk)
    throws IOException

Read from the input stream into the given buffer. IMPORTANT: the current model assumes that the protocol will 'own' the buffer and return a pointer to it in ByteChunk (i.e. the param will have chunk.getBytes()==null before call, and the result after the call).

Parameters:

chunk - The buffer to read data into.

Returns:

The number of bytes that have been added to the buffer or -1 for end of stream

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream
