Hi all.
I have a file transfer class which has been part of the development of my
program for some time. It now no longer works and i am at a loss to
explain why this has happened. The code itself has changed little, aside from
some progress monitoring additions. Two things that have changed are 1) i
am using my own OpenFire Server as apposed to the public Jabber.org server and
- i upgraded to smack 3.0.4 from 2.2.x. I don’t know if this affects anything
but i thought i’d better mention it. I have seen forum posts regarding this issue and
have disabled the proxy service as advised, this made no difference. Incidentally, i temporarily reverted to the jabber.org
server to test a file transfer scenario. This also failed which
leaves me to believe the problem is not because of the openfire server setup but as a result of my code or the upgrade to Smack 3.0.4
The behaviour of a typical file transfer is this:
-
The first file transfer
from a to b will work in all circumstances. -
The second file transfer
from a to b may work although it is possible and increasingly
common that it will simply hang and then fail -
The first file
transfer between b to a after a to b’s initial transfer may work, or it
may hang and then fail. The failing outcome is far more likely.
Is there something fundamental i am missing? do the streams need to be
flushed or closed in some way? i have not found the mechanism to do this in the
docs if this is the case.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Steven
