how to make reader.ready() return false

reader.ready() method returned false for me when reading from

when reader is obtained from databse. eg. Clob reader.

So that can be acceptable that next call may block thats why ready() returned false.

But i want to simulate situation when reader.ready() returns false even if reader is eg. FileReader, directy reading from

existing file on local unix machine. (and this file is having content)

So can it happen? And in which cases?
