 * for reading data one line at a time. With some protocols, such

 * object can be used to read data sent from the client.

 * <p>A <code>ServletInputStream</code> object is normally retrieved via
 * the {@link ServletRequest#getInputStream} method.
 *
 *
 * <p>This is an abstract class that a servlet container implements.
 * Subclasses of this class
 * must implement the <code>java.io.InputStream.read()</code> method.
