It should be easiest with an ObjectOutputStream (around the
Response.getOutputStream), and an ObjectInputStream on the Applet end of
the URLConnection.
On the other hand, you may want to avoid this. I have heard some horror
stories about the incompatible classes in the various browser JVMs. The
safest way is still to dump the great gobs of primitive + String data
over the connection :)
You *may* be able to get away with it if you cut your own Serializable
data-carrier class, though I have never tried it to see if it will work
any better. I just created my own version of Externalizable
(Transferable), and have been using TransferableInput/OutputStreams ever
since.
Cheers,
