I'm writing a servlet that will filter requests based on content type.  I
want it to process serialised java objects from a client that I am also
writing, and want to use the correct content type rather than inventing
one.

I've seen references to the following types (in mailing lists, etc), but am
unsure as to which is correct:

 application/java
 java/object
 application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I've also looked at the registry of MIME types at:

 http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types

but there's no reference to java objects.  RFCs say to avoid using the "x-"
types, as these are unregistered and thwart interoperability.

Is there a [defacto] standard, or a recommendation?

TIA,

Jason.
