Serialization issue

[Keyur Govande]

Hi...I've been trying to implement serialization. Here is the code:
Server Code and Message code:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class Message implements Serializable{
int type;
int id;
Message (int i, int j) {
type = i;
id = j;
}
String toString2() {
String s = new String();
s=s+type;
s=s+id;
return s;
}
}
 
class tester {
 
public static void main (String args[]) {
Message m1;
ServerSocket s1;
Socket clisock;
ObjectOutputStream out;
ObjectInputStream in;
try {
s1 = new ServerSocket(9000);
clisock = s1.accept();
out = new ObjectOutputStream(clisock.getOutputStream());
out.flush();
sender(out);
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
}
}
 
 
 
static void sender(ObjectOutputStream out) throws Exception{
       Message m1 = new Message(3, 200);
for (;m1.type<100;m1.type++) {
out.writeObject(m1);
System.out.println(m1.type + " " + m1.id);
}
return;
}
}

Client code

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.lang.*;
 
class tester2 {
 
public static void main (String args[]) {
 
Socket clisock;
ObjectOutputStream out;
ObjectInputStream in;
try {
clisock = new Socket("localhost",9000);
System.err.println("Connected");
in = new ObjectInputStream(clisock.getInputStream());
while (true) {
Message m1 = (Message)in.readObject();
System.out.println("m1.type + m1.id = "+m1.type+" "+m1.id); }
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Some error "+e);
}
}
}

What I am trying to do here is to change the value of Message.type and send it over to the client. but when I run this program, the client always prints the first value of m1 that is 3, 200. What could be wrong?

Thanks for the help!
