Java URL I/O Problem

[VeRaptor]

Hello!

I'm writing a client-side application that would read info from server database through Apache and PHP. However, when I send a request to the PHP script:

URL url = new URL(Main.URLPATH+"getTracksByCoord.php?"+"track="+TrackListInfo.tablename+"&chr="+chr+"&from="+from+"&to="+to);

URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.connect();

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));

and then start reading the data prited by PHP script in a cycle:

while ((String line = in.readLine()) != null ){
.................................
}

it appears that Java reads faster then the script prints rows, which leads that BufferedReader ends prematurely.
Is there any way to make client-side Java application wait until the server-side script finishes printing data?

You might care to try

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/

I think their optimization recommendation at

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/performance.html#Request_Response_entity_streaming

speaks directly to your objective. It's used everywhere.

Worst case, you can look at their source to see how they handle it.
