[jdom-interest] read xml from socket inputstream

[Stephan Trebels]

A bit more background would help.  Which "length" do you want to
calculate?  I'll assume it's buf.length...

in short there are multiple ways to do this: either you add a framing
protocol (like minimal HTTP headers) e.g. you send something like

POST /context/for/this/xml
Content-Length: 12345

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
...

This makes sure you do get the relevant information, i.e. some
context, the length, and ... you start reading the XML.

But why do you want to read things into memory first?  Why don't you
just use inputStream and build the JDOM document using it?
