Hi,

I'm trying to write a client-server application in Java with an XML-based protocol. But I have a great problem! See this part of client code:

InputStream incoming = skt.getInputStream(); //I get Stream from Socket.
OutputStream out = skt.getOutputStream();

[...]

XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer();
//This create an XML document.
tosend = WUTPClientWriter.createMessage100(projectid, cpuclock, cpunumber);
serializer.setOutputByteStream(out);
serializer.serialize(tosend);

At this point server fall in deadlock. It wait for EOF but I can't send it because if I use

out.close();

or

skt.shutdownOutput();

I close Socket and I must keep alive this connection.

I can't send '\0' becouse I get Parse Error in the server.

How can I do? Can I "close" output stream without close socket?

RESOLVED I've created new class XMLStreamOutput and XMLStreamInput with advanced Stream gesture.
