You cannot send a ResultSet back as a serialized object because
ResultSet doesn't implement Serializable. Makes sense if you think
about it since a ResultSet could be terabytes in size.
You'll need to write you own object to send back and forth. It doesn't
work for everything, but I like the idea of passing a skeleton object to
the server (like a Person object with only the telephone number filled
in, or last name and zip code) and having the server return a fully
constituted Person object.
