End of Stream

Question

Hi,
How can I send an "End of Stream" down a stream without closing it?
Cheers

No doesn't seem to work in this case. I'm reading the stream with an app I've written to use the nio package's selectable channels. Below is the read method I'm using. The problem is that clientSocket.read(buff) is never returning -1 even though I can see that all the bytes have been read.
Basically it does the first pass, reads all the bytes into the buffer and then just hangs around waiting for the channel's interest ops to come back to OP_READ, but they never do. I'm sure I must be reading the socket or checking the buffer badly but I can't figure out where.
     private boolean read(SelectionKey key) throws IOException {
          int read =clientSocket.read(buff);
          if( read==-1) {
               buff.flip();
               in = charset.decode(buff).toString();
               System.out.println("Switch to write");
               return true;
          } else {
               System.out.println("More read ["+read+":"+buff.remaining()+"]");
               key.interestOps(SelectionKey.OP_READ);
               return false;
     }
