Hi,
I've been trying to send boolean values from a servlet back to an applet,
but I am stuck. I am doing something like this:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws
ServletException, java.io.IOException
{
// Get the input stream for reading data from the client
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(req.getInputStream());
// We'll be sending binary data back to the client so
// set the content type appropriately
resp.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
// Data will always be written to a byte array buffer so
// that we can tell the client the length of the data
ByteArrayOutputStream byteOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// Create the output stream to be used to write the
// data to our buffer
DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(byteOut);
// Send back a boolean value indicating that the
// user is invalid
if userIsValid(something)
out.writeBoolean(true);
else
out.writeBoolean(false);
out.close();
}
-- sometimes I get EOFException, sometimes i get true, but I never get
false back.. the applet uses :
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(urlConnection.getInputStream());
boolean value = in.readBoolean();
Can anyone help please?
Nelson
