How to close a jmf rtp session when the whole file is sent

Question

i am using jmf to Stream a video file from a one client to another, everything seems to be working fine except for the fact that i dont know how to close the prosessor and the session/datasink on the transmitting clients side when the clientis done streaming, i can close it lets say after 60 seconds of starting but i am not able to figure out how make it stop when the whole file is done streaming. i tried using the datasinklistner while sending the video and the following code
public void dataSinkUpdate(DataSinkEvent event) {
         if (event instanceof javax.media.datasink.EndOfStreamEvent) {
             endOfStream = true;
     }but the endofstream event is never received from the datasource.
the problem is that it works fine if i using a 20 second video and i close the datasink and the processor in 60 seconds, the whole file does get streamed but if i have a file longer than 60 seconds then the file just gets cut at 60 seconds.
i also tried to use a sessionmanager with a sessionlistener and a sendStreamListener and the following code
     * SessionListener.
    public synchronized void update(SessionEvent evt) {
     * SendStreamListener
    public synchronized void update( SendStreamEvent evt) {
        System.out.println(evt);
     if (evt instanceof InactiveSendStreamEvent) {
          flag=true;
          System.out.println("done");
     if (evt instanceof ActiveSendStreamEvent) {
         System.out.println("start");
    }i ran the whole code and sent files and everything but neither an activestreamevent nor a inactivestreamevent happens but the file is being streamed properly

could it be a problem with jmf itself that the endofstream doesnt get generated for the datasource being read from a fileIn this instance, that would be the problem... more than likely, there's something weird about the file, perhaps it doesn't have a duration set in the header and JMF treats it like a live stream.
You could always write a custom DataSource that just passes through the input of a normal data source, and then generate the EndOfStream event yourself... maybe based on a timeout or failure counter? I haven't received any data in x seconds or after x attempts, so I'm assuming the file is done... Or when you've read enough data that the file can't possibly have any more (read >= file header + file data)...
