HttpServletRequest.getInputStream within an Element

Hi all,

Has anyone tried using HttpServletRequest.getInputStream() from within
an Element?  The web services elements, specifically the
WebserviceHessian element, refer to it, but I can't seem to actually
read any data from it myself.

Here's my code (also available at http://rifers.org/paste/show/8652):
==========================================
public class ReportData extends Element {
        Logger logger =  Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName());

        public void processElement()
        {
               
                try {
                        HttpServletRequest request = getHttpServletRequest();
                        logger.info("getMethod()=["+getMethod()+"]");
                        // This works: the content is a POST

                        int max_length_of_data = request.getContentLength();
                        // This works: the content length seems to be correct.
                        logger.info("max_length_of_data: ["+max_length_of_data+"]");
                       
                        ServletInputStream  httpIn  = request.getInputStream();
                       
                        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                        byte[] buf = new byte[1000];
                        int count = 0;
                        try {
                                // No data is ever read; even for
                                // five attempts over 5 seconds...
                                for( int i =0; i<=5; ++i ) {
                                        count = httpIn.read(buf, 0, 1000);
                                        logger.info("count=["+count+"]");
                                        if( count > -1 ) {
                                                String input = new String(buf,0,count);
                                                sb.append(input);
                                        }
                                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                                }
                        } catch( Exception e ) {
                                logger.log(Level.INFO,e.getMessage(),e);
                        }
                        logger.info(""+sb.toString());
                } catch (Exception e1) {
                        logger.log(Level.INFO,e1.getMessage(),e1);
                }
                return;
        }
       
        public boolean prohibitRawAccess()
        {
                return false;
        }
}
==========================================

All the best,

Josh
