so I have an ArrayList of items and I want to send it from the server I have to the client.
This actually works 100% apart from the fact that it's being returned like this(student is my class that implements serializable).
myPackage.student@4554617c
How do i deserialize this on the client? Do I create a new arraylist and then pass in the object to that?
Relevant Server code:
DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
int num = din.readInt();
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
//get details is where im getting the arraylist from.
out.writeObject (data.getDetails(num));
Relevant Client code:
//Get user input to select array element
DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
out.writeInt(num);
//get the data from the server
ObjectInputStream objectInput = new ObjectInputStream(s.getInputStream());
//Print the object we've got from the server
Object test = objectInput.readObject();
System.out.println(test);
I have googled and googled but I honestly have no clue what I am supposed. I know the client side isn't right, and that I can't just print the object. But I'm not sure what way to go about it.
Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated :)
