Hi Roland, I posted it in this mailing list, as the problem occured since I switched from the default sun classes to the commons HttpClient. With the default sun classes I wrote everything to an ObjectOutputStream, but I couldn't find a similar approach for HttpClient.
If I understand it correctly what you are saying, then I should look at entities, which allow me to do the same as I did before with the default sun classes. I'll take a look at the urls below. Thanks and my apologies if this post is/was off-topic. Santo On 6/29/06, Roland Weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello sANTo, your getting an exception on the server side from an ObjectInputStream layered on top of a ByteArrayInputStream. However I look at it, this has nothing to do with HttpClient and is off-topic for this mailing list. Maybe your Hashtable holds objects of a class that is unknown on the server side? You are badly abusing the HTTP protocol by sending data in a header instead of an entity (message body). If you have to send data, in particular binary data, then use a POST or PUT method. You can send binary data without string-encoding it. The string en- and decoding is another potential source of your problem. Have you debug-printed and compared the string and the byte array on client and server side? http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/methods/EntityEnclosingMethod.html http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/methods/ByteArrayRequestEntity.html Using an entity, you can stream the data directly through an ObjectOutputStream instead of wasting memory for temporary byte arrays and strings. That's not much of a difference for the data sizes you mentioned in your mail, but I don't know how big your tables will become. http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/methods/RequestEntity.html hope that helps, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
