[muscle] Re: Java API writes partial messages to network under some conditions

Hi Lior,

Thanks for the patch, I've added it into the subversion repository.  I do have 
one question though:  What happens when one of the flattenMessage() methods 
is called on a blocked TCP socket (e.g. after I've unplugged the computer's 
ethernet cable and its outgoing TCP buffer has filled up with data?)  It 
seems like out.write() would start returning zero, and therefore the while 
loop in your patch would spin forever, eating up 100% of the CPU time.  How 
is that handled in Java?  (in C++-land, I would use select() to detect when 
the socket had finally cleared up... but I don't know if there is any 
equivalent to select() in Java, so I always used blocking sockets there)
