Hi everybody:

I'm deveoping an applet that lets users to select files from an
explorer view, and copies them to a remote machine in a specified path.

The program works well, but the problem is when it copies a few files,
the memory grows and grows up (ever when the files have a length not
very bigger).

I read in the web and groups about use the method reset (from
ObjectOutputStream) after all the objects where sent, but it seems (in
this case) it doesn't work.

'could anyone help me or tell me an alternative method to do this??
This is the code I'm using:

In the applet side (send files):--------------------------------

ObjectOutputStream oos = null;

try {

 URLConnection urlConnection = getUrlConnectionServ();

 if(urlConnection != null) {

       oos = new ObjectOutputStream(urlConnection.getOutputStream());

       String sUnidad = (String) getJComboBox().getSelectedItem();
       String sFichero;
       Object[] oRuta;

       Vector vFicheros = new Vector();
       Vector vDescFich;

       File fFich;
       FileInputStream fis;
       byte bain[];

       getJProgressBar1().setVisible(true);

       ByteArrayOutputStream baos = null;

       for (int i = 0; i < sElegidos.length; i++) {

         fFich = new File(sElegidos[i]);

         if (!fFich.isDirectory()) {

           baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
           fis = new FileInputStream(fFich);

           bain = new byte[(int)fFich.length()];

           byte[] bBuffer = new byte[131072];

           int offset = 0;
           int numRead = 0;
           int iTotalLeidos = 0;
           while(offset < bain.length && (numRead=fis.read(bBuffer,
offset, bain.length-offset)) >= 0) {
             baos.write(bBuffer, 0, numRead);
             Thread.sleep(40);
           }

           vDescFich = new Vector(2);
           vDescFich.addElement(new
String(sElegidos[i].substring(sElegidos[i].lastIndexOf("\\") +
1,sElegidos[i].length())));
           vDescFich.addElement(new
Long(fFich.lastModified()).toString());
           //vDescFich.addElement(bain);
           vDescFich.addElement(baos.toByteArray());

           vFicheros.addElement(vDescFich);

           fis.close();
    }
   }

   oos.writeObject(new String("EnviarFicheros"));
   oos.writeObject(getMFichRemotos().getSRutaRemota());
   oos.writeObject(vFicheros);
   oos.reset();

   oos.close();
   oos = null;

 } else {
   throw new Exception("No se pudo realizar la conexión.");
 }
}

In the servlet side (recieves files):

private void enviarFicheros(String sRutaDestino, Vector vFicheros,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse res) {

int iBuffer = 2048;

try {

 File fFich;
 File fFichAux;
 FileInputStream fis;
 FileOutputStream fos;
 ByteArrayInputStream bais;
 byte[] bDatosFich;

 String sNombreFichero = null;

 byte buffer[] = new byte[iBuffer];

 Runtime rtJava = null;

 File fDir = new File(sRutaDestino);

 for (int i = 0; i < vFicheros.size(); i++) {

  sNombreFichero = (String) ((Vector)
vFicheros.elementAt(i)).elementAt(0);

  fFichAux = new File(sRutaDestino, sNombreFichero);

  fFichAux.setLastModified(Long.parseLong((String)((Vector)
vFicheros.elementAt(i)).elementAt(1)));

  fos = new FileOutputStream(fFichAux);

  bDatosFich = (byte[]) ((Vector)
vFicheros.elementAt(i)).elementAt(2);
  bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(bDatosFich);

  fos.write(bDatosFich);
  fos.flush();
  fos.close();
  bais.close();

  if (!System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows")) {
   rtJava = Runtime.getRuntime();
   rtJava.exec("chown gescom2:gescom " + sRutaDestino +
sNombreFichero);
  }

 }

} catch (Exception e) {

 e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Thank you very much,

Marco Tabasco.
