stream corrupted exception in Object streams

Hello! one of our applications was running good in developement enviroment (apache/tomcat) but when we put it over internet it started showing stream corrupted exception at places where we were using ObjectInput/OutputStream.It involved
use of URLConnection in applet/servlet communication..and we were trying to read /write String/Hashtable/Vector. can someone please explain what actually is happening here.For the time
beeing we changed all sreams with byte streams and it is working fine.
Thank you for your time and help

Hi,
You have said that u got StreamCorruptedException
while using stream classes.Actually this is a
generalized exception occurs along with (type code) which u can see in the exception.There are many type codes.According to the type code
only we can find out what is the problem not
alone with the exception.Just e-mail the
type code so that it is possible to find the
exception.
