Feedback about outgoing file transfers status

How can I find when the user that I’'m sending a file stop the file transfer?

I use the follow pattern:

while(!outgoingFileTransfer.isDone()) {

// updating a progress bar widget

// get some sleep a little

}

// get the status and give appropriate feedback

The bad luck it’‘s that the file transfer isn’'t done when the receiver cancel a previously started transfer.

When i receive a file, that piece of code works fine…

What’'s wrong here or what is the work-around needed to make things happen?

Thanks!

P.S.: I test my Jabber client using Spark for receive the file; it’‘s there any problem? Because I’'ve seen that the IQ.set packet is send by Spark after that the file transfer requestor close the file transfer.

The problem is mostly at the protocol level. There is no provision after the initial file transfer negotiation to “cancel” a file transfer, so the local client is forced to make a best guess that the file transfer has ended - an arbitrary timeout or something along those lines.

Thanks,

I think that the file transfer process status must reflect in a straight way that the transfer it’'s finished; I found isDone() as a formula that reflect a successfully ending of a file transfer.

I’'m think about that the API must reflect transfer status for outgoing file transfer in same manner as incoming file transfer…
