what is the best way to send a file?
i am writing a program and i want to transfer a file from a client class to a server class... what is the best way to do that?
convert the file to bytes using the following
File file=new File("jobs.xml");
byte buffer[]=newbyte[(int)file.length()];
try{
BufferedInputStream input=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("jobs.xml"));
input.read(buffer,0,buffer.length);
input.close();
}catch(Exception e){//DIORTHOSE TA MSGS
System.out.println("reading jobs.xml->buffer: "+e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
firstServerRef.translationService(theCallbackObjectRef, buffer);
for a reason i dont like that i am reading the file again to put it in the buffer and send the buffer... are my worries reasonable or not? is there any other better way to do that?

hmm you mean use a smaller buffer and call the function with the smaller buffer many times in a while?
the client and the server are not on a single machine and i want to call the function only once... could you clarify the thing that you said..
yes you are correct that you see only one reading because i haven't pasted the rest of the code which is sth like...
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("jobs.xml");
ObjectOutputStream out = xstream.createObjectOutputStream(fw);
// out.writeObject(new Jobb("ougk2", "Walnes",null));
for(int i=0;i<nameOfServices.length;i++){
Jobb translationJob=new Jobb();
//find the service !
NameComponent nc = new NameComponent(nameOfServices[i], " ");
// Resolve the object reference in naming
NameComponent path[] = {nc};
//create a ref for the servant of the service
ServiceOperations theRemoteObjRef = ServiceHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path));
// JobOperations theRemoteObjRef = JobHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve(path));
translationJob.setObjServerRef(theRemoteObjRef.toString());
if(i==0){ //this is the first job
translationJob.setForTranslation(wordForTranslation);
firstServerRef=theRemoteObjRef;
}
out.writeObject(translationJob);
}
out.close();
File file=new File("jobs.xml");
byte buffer[]=new byte[(int)file.length()];
try {
BufferedInputStream input=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("jobs.xml"));
input.read(buffer,0,buffer.length);
input.close();
} catch(Exception e) {//DIORTHOSE TA MSGS
System.out.println("reading jobs.xml->buffer: "+e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
firstServerRef.translationService(theCallbackObjectRef, buffer);
which i believe is bad....
