URGENT! How to write an Object to a Socket

[Joe Wiesenfeld]

I'm trying to write a Vector to a socket and I'm having problems.
I tried
out= new BufferedOutpurStream(connection.getOutputStream())
then
connection.out.write(Vector)
I'm getting a compile error:
Incompatible type for method. Can't convert java.util.Vector to int.
Please help ASAP.
Thank you

DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
ObjectOutputStream objOut = new ObjectOutputStream(out);
objOut.writeObject(p);// p is a Serializable object
