Object Read problem

[Ashwin Kumar]

I am using this code from front end(applet) to write the object to ObjectOutputStream. And I am reading the object from the servlet using Object Input stream, its actually applet-servlet communication.
I am getting java.io.EOFException in the backend when servlet reads the object.

 
//Applet Code
String location = "Java";
servletConnection.setRequestProperty(
"Content-Type",
"application/x-java-serialized-object");
OutputStream outstream = servletConnection.getOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outstream);
oos.writeObject(location);
//Servlet code
response.setContentType("application/x-java-serialized-object");
InputStream in = request.getInputStream();
ObjectInputStream inputFromApplet = new ObjectInputStream(in);
//Here is the problem- why ??
String location = (String) inputFromApplet.readObject();

Are you flushing and closing that ObjectOutputStream later in the applet?

[Ashwin Kumar]

Yes I am flushing and closing that ObjectOutputStream, does this imapact ??

This has nothing at all to do with Swing/AWT/SWT/JFace that I can see. It seems to be a serialization question, so I'm going to move this to our I/O forum.

Shonak,
Maybe it's time for the classic JavaWorld article: Dodge the traps hiding in the URLConnection class.

And if we're talking about JavaWorld articles, perhaps you'd also be interested in reading my article: What's your time zone?

Good Luck,
Avi.
