Hi,
I'm building a solution where a servlet on tomcat6 handles input from another machine by providing a jsp web page. I'd also like the same servlet to communicate with an applet on the same machine to show some results and perform a few tasks.
I'm able to connect from the applet to the servlet using a URLConnection but when receving a message from the servlet I get a "invalid stream header" exception message from the applet.
Any ideas?

Applet code:
private URLConnection getServletConnection()
throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
// Open the servlet connection
URL urlServlet = new URL("http://localhost:8080/Servlet");
connection = urlServlet.openConnection();
// Config
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setUseCaches (false);
connection.setDefaultUseCaches (false);
connection.setRequestProperty(
"Content-Type",
"application/x-java-serialized-object");
return connection;
}
private void onSendData() {
try {
// get input data for sending
String input = "Applet string heading for servlet";
// send data to the servlet
connection = getServletConnection();
OutputStream outstream = connection.getOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outstream);
oos.writeObject(input);
oos.flush();
oos.close()
// receive result from servlet
InputStream instr = connection.getInputStream();
ObjectInputStream inputFromServlet = new ObjectInputStream(instr);
String result = (String) inputFromServlet.readObject();
inputFromServlet.close();
instr.close();
// show result
textField.setText(result);
} catch (java.net.MalformedURLException mue) {
textField.setText("Invalid serlvetUrl, error: " + mue.getMessage());
} catch (java.io.IOException ioe) {
