  Subject: [BEEPwg] About beep output and input stream


  Hi,

  I have a question about the input and output stream of BEEP. I read the example on the book, "BEEP", written by Dr. Marshall T. Rose and published by O'Reilly. There is a client example on page 52:

  try {
      channel.sendMSG(new StringOutputDataStream(request), reply);
  } catch { ....}

  InputDataStream ds = reply.getNextReply().getDataStream();
  InputStream is = ds.getInputStream();

  while(is.read() != -1) {
      ++replyLength;
  } 

  It uses the message reply object to get the input stream. That means we have to send a message and wait for the response. This is not what I want. What I need are two independent threads: one for listening to the port/messages and one for sending out the message through the port. Is there any way to have an independent InputStream? Thanks. 

  Best Regards,

  Russell Hung
