java.io.ObjectInputStream.available() returns incorrect value 0 instead actual data length.
It causes JCK API test failure and needs to be fixed.

This sample is sowing a bug:
--------------------------------
import java.io.*;

public class t {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
        byte[] data = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8};
        ByteArrayOutputStream b = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(b);
        oos.write(data);
        oos.close();
        ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(b.toByteArray());
        ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bais);
        System.out.println(ois.available());
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
  }

}
--------------------------------

Output:
---------------------------------
0
