HI all,
   
  Thanks for all the replies.
                                 I want to pass the InputStream to the other client. As I see,Once the connection is closed, The stream will be invalidated. I want to have the reference even after closing the connection. Can I do that. 
  The InputStream object returned by the  getResponseAsStream mehod  is AutoCloseInputStream.
  Could anybody tell me how can I keep this alive even after closing the connection. 
  One option is to read from getInputStream and create a new byteinputstream and 
  pass it on. Again they will read it from the inputStream, I just want to cut one read and can pass InputStream object directly having the connection closed.
   
  Thanks,
  Sheetal

  Hi Sheetal,

You can use the below code to read ur response.


httpclientR.executeMethod(postMethod);
InputStream is = postMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream();
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream( is );

String datastr = null;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
byte[] bytes = new byte[ 8192 ]; // reading as chunk of 8192
bytes
int count = bis.read( bytes );
while( count != -1 && count <= 8192 )
{
datastr = getString(bytes, count);
sb.append(datastr);
count = bis.read( bytes );
}

bis.close();
reply = sb.toString();

Regards,
