Data streaming between server and client does not complete

Question

Using an ad-hoc app, data streaming between server
and client does not complete as it supposed to be.
The process runs well in solaris 5.8, however under 5.9
we have found the characters stream buffer length limitation
is around 900 to 950 characters (by default we are using 3072
characters).
Example:
- We are transfering HTML file, which will be displayed
in the App client, with buffer=3072, the HTML only displayed / transfered
as xxxxxxxx characters, but with buffer=900 the HTML is displayed properly,
in this case, the only problem that we have is the file transfer will
eventually longer than usual.
- There is another case, where we have to transfer information (data) as stream
to the client. A long data stream will not appear at all in the client.
Any ideas why the change between 5.8 and 5.9 woudl cause problems?
The current app-driver that we are using is compiled using Solaris 5.6,
if possible we would like to have use of a later version, which is compiled using Solaris 5.9, do you think this will probably solve our problem?
Thanks

Answer 1

Does this have anything to do with Java RMI? or with Java come to think of it?
