Input buffer. This class is used only in the protocol implementation. All reading from Tomcat ( or adapter ) should be done using Request.doRead().

Method Summary

int	doRead(ByteChunk chunk, Request request) Return from the input stream.

Method Detail

doRead

int doRead(ByteChunk chunk,
           Request request)
           throws IOException

Return from the input stream. 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 ).

Throws:

IOException
