Why dont you try using PUT instead of POST ? I think put is more suitable
for this as you can stream anything to servlet.
if you insist on using post, i recommend getting the parameter and replace
the newline with some chars like ':'
this is an example on streaming an object using put
HttpClient client = HTTP_CLIENT;
PutMethod method = new PutMethod(getUrl().toString());
ByteArrayOutputStream byter = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream out = null;
byte[] response = null;
try {
out = new ObjectOutputStream(byter);
out.writeObject(o);
RequestEntity entity = new ByteArrayRequestEntity(
byter.toByteArray());
method.setRequestEntity(entity);
client.executeMethod(method);
response = method.getResponseBody();
} finally {
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
method.releaseConnection();
}

I am creating a client - server application that will process lines like:
startjob
adduser
adduser
adduser
adduser
endjob
adduser can be an unlimited amount of times. I want to process the
lines as they come into the Servlet, that way a seperate process could
be doing something to complete each of the tasks, while I am in the
process of working on reading the lines.
I have written a Socket server of my own to do this before, I am now
trying to use Tomcat Servlet to do the same thing, because Tomcat
already some behind the scenes stuff already setup.
Does this make sense? Am I totally off my rocker? (My wife would
definately agree with that last bit.)
