Passing a String[][] using sockets

[Leslie Chaim]

Hi,
I am looking for some code snippet to pass a two dimensional String array from a client program to a server program.
Verbose examples are greatly appreciated
Thanks.

Maybe I'm forgetting something, but why would this be different from passing any other object?

[Leslie Chaim]

Indeed I did not mean String per se,
I want to know whether its possible with two dimensional objects. But, based on what you are saying may I conclude that when I say writeObject(data) in my client, and

String [] data = (String[][])(ois.readObject());

in my server that I am done?

Put another bracket pair in that type identifier, and I can't think of why it shouldn't work. I'll try it here myself and see if something strange happens.

Arrays are intrinsically Serializable, so if the contents are Serializable you should be able to just send it with an ObjectOutputStream.
