Problem with object serialization in Applet-Servlet communication

Question

Hi guys,

I spent a lot of time on thinking what is wrong with the following code. I send the object from my applet to servlet and then I read the object from servlet. Everything goes fine till reading serialized object from the servlet - I got IOException. Thank you in advance!

Here is the code:

Applet:

try {


     URL servletURL = new URL(this.getCodeBase().getProtocol(), this.getCodeBase().getHost(), this.getCodeBase().getPort(),
                                         "/MyApplet");
     URLConnection servletConnection = servletURL.openConnection();

     servletConnection.setDoInput( true );
     servletConnection.setDoOutput( true );
     servletConnection.setUseCaches( false );

     servletConnection.setRequestProperty( "Content-Type", "application/x-java-serialized-object" );

     ObjectOutputStream output;
     output = new ObjectOutputStream( servletConnection.getOutputStream( ) );

     output.writeObject( someObject );

     output.flush( );
     output.close( );


     ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream( servletConnection.getInputStream( ) ); // Here I got the exception

     myObject = ( SomeObject ) input.readObject( );

} catch (java.io.IOException ioe) {
                System.err.println(ioe.getStackTrace());
} catch (Exception e) {
                System.err.println(e.getStackTrace());
}

Servlet:

response.setContentType("application/x-java-serialized-object");
    try {
        ObjectInputStream inputFromApplet = new ObjectInputStream(request.getInputStream());

        SomeObject myObject = (SomeObject) inputFromApplet.readObject();
        ObjectOutputStream outputToApplet = new ObjectOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());

        outputToApplet.writeObject(myObject);
        outputToApplet.flush();


    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
       // ...
    }
