passing object to methods by sockets

[Thomas Paul Bigbee]

Hi all;
My question is this...

I know how to pass serialized objects over a socket to a server using Socket.getOutputStream() and Sockte.getOutputStream(), however I don't know how to call methods within a server passing objects or receiving objects from a called method on the server. Does anybody know how this can be done?

Thank You, in advance.

Perhaps you could give us an example of some code that's giving you trouble? If you want to invoke a method on on a serialized object, you do it the same way you do with any other object:

  
String s = (String)objectInputStream.readObject();
String allcaps = s.toUpperCase();
