Hi
I have an applet and a servlet. They use http and object-serialization. The communication between them works as long as I send objects only in one direction (either applet->servlet or servlet->applet). But when the servlet should return some objects straightly after receiving an object from the applet, the applet receives nothing.
Thanks

Applet Code (Method)

URL url = null;

servletConnection = url.openConnection();

servletConnection.setDoOutput(true);
servletConnection.setUseCaches (false);
servletConnection.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
servletConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-type","application/x-java-serialized-object");
ObjectOutputStream outputToServlet = new ObjectOutputStream(servletConnection.getOutputStream());
Msg outobj = new Msg(Msg.GET_STG);
outputToServlet.writeObject(outobj);
outputToServlet.flush();
outputToServlet.close();
ObjectInputStream inputFromServlet = new ObjectInputStream(servletConnection.getInputStream());
vStg = (Vector) inputFromServlet.readObject();
inputFromServlet.close();
}
catch(Exception g) {
g.printStackTrace();
}
return (vStg);

System.out.println(test);
if(test.getAuswahl() == 2) /*Msg.GET_STG*/{
outputToApplet = new ObjectOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
outputToApplet.writeObject(mytestdat.vPlan);
outputToApplet.flush();
outputToApplet.close();

Try it without closing the outputToServlet stream until after you read the input from servlet. I suspect that closing that stream closes the whole connection. Performing the flush() is enough to complete sending the object.

I suppose, that I've tried now every sequence of
new ObjectOutputStream/-InputStream,
write/readObject, flush and close
I don't understand why it doesn't work

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
