I had an EOFException problem with this same sequence and eventually found
that code in the servlet was failing or hanging and nothing was being
sent back to the applet.

> 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?
