Problem while reading data on java socket

Question

Hi All,
I am in big problem based on java socket programming. I run my application and start a ServerSocket on 10000(suppose) port no.As soon as request is coming i create a new thread with Socket assigned to it and process the request. Now i got the response and written on same Socket(Listen to ServerSocket on 10000 port). Now what i want to read the response written earlier on Socket.The written response i print on SOP it is visible. But when i establish InputStream and try to read the data it gives me -1 means no data is available. But i have seen the SOP and data is written to socket. How can solve the problem. I have tried after close the Socket as well as not close the socket.
Please help me out on this.see below code
<CODE>
void upperClassMethod() {
istener = new ServerSocket(port);
while(true) {
clientSocket = listener.accept();
doComms conn_c= new doComms(clientSocket);
Thread t = new Thread(conn_c);
t.start();
//doComms is a inner class of upper level class
class doComms implements Runnable {
          private Socket server;
          doComms(Socket server) {
               //pp = server;
               this.server=server;
               //server=server1;
void processResponse() {
          try {
               BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream (clientSocket.getInputStream());
               byte [] inBuff = new byte [4096] ;
               int len = in.read (inBuff, 0, inBuff.length) ;
               String output = new String (inBuff) ;
               System.out.println("the output is :::: "+output);
          } catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
</CODE>
in processResponse() method i am not able to get output. Plz help me guys.....
Thanks in advance for ant assistance

please see mu rum nethos of doComms class
<CODE>
public void run () {
               input="";
               boolean done = false ;
               try {
                    BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream (server.getInputStream());
                    out = new PrintStream(server.getOutputStream());
                    while (!done) {
                         byte [] inBuff = new byte [4096] ;
                         try {
                              int len = in.read (inBuff, 0, inBuff.length) ;
                              if (len > 0) {
                                   input = new String (inBuff) ;
                                   Runnable r = new RequestProcessThread();
                                   Thread t = new Thread(r);
                                   t.start();
                              } else if (len == -1) {
                                   done = true ;
                                   //server.close () ;
                         catch (InterruptedIOException iioe) {
               } catch (IOException ioe) {
                    System.out.println("IOException " + ioe + " on socket in thread: " + Thread.currentThread().getName());
                    ioe.printStackTrace();
                    done = true ;
</CODE>
