Servet Problem: java.io.EOFException

Get rid of

>> res.setContentType("application/octet-stream");

>>
Vector emp = new Vector();
emp.add(0,new String("he"));
emp.add(1,new String("she"));
>>

can be

Vector emp = new Vector();
emp.add("he");
emp.add("she");

Hello,

I tried the suggestion of CEHJ but I got the same Exception message.

Here is the full code as OBJECTS asked for:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException {
            //open InputStream
            ObjectInputStream input=new ObjectInputStream(req.getInputStream());
            // open OutputStream
            
                ObjectOutputStream output=new ObjectOutputStream(res.getOutputStream());
            
                try {
                  // read the employee id sent by the apple
                     String empId=(String)input.readObject();
                  
                        // Set the contenty type to application/octet-stream
                  res.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
                       
                  // getConnection method returns a
                  // connection to the Employee database
                  Connection con=getConnection();
                  Vector emp = new Vector();
                  if(con != null) {
                        
                               String[] empDetails = fetchDetails(con,empId.toString());
                               
                        emp.add(0, new String(empDetails[0]));
                        emp.add(1, new String(empDetails[1]));

                  } else {
                        // Connection was not successful, return proper messages
                        emp.add(0, new String("Could not establish"));
                        emp.add(0, new String("connection to database"));
                  }

                  // Close the connection
                  try {
                        con.close();
                  } catch(SQLException se) {
                            System.out.println("error 1");
                        se.printStackTrace();
                  }

                  // Send data
                  output.writeObject(emp);
            } catch(Exception e) {
                  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
                         System.out.println("error 2");
                  e.printStackTrace();
            }

            // flush the output and close
            output.flush();
            output.close();
      }



public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException {
            doGet(req,res);
      }

I have avoided the use of ObjectInputStream input in order to make the scenario simplier.


 private void searchTest() {

            // get the employee id keyed in
            String empId="rom01";

            try {

                  // Initialize URL to call the servlet
                  URL url=new      URL("http://localhost:8084/TableTest");

                   // Open the connection to servlet.
                   URLConnection servletConnection = url.openConnection();
                  //System.out.println("Point 1");
                  // Set client caching to false
                  servletConnection.setUseCaches(false);

                  // Enable I/O through the connection
                  servletConnection.setDoInput(true);
                  servletConnection.setDoOutput(true);

                  // set request content type to object type
                  servletConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/octet-stream ");

                  // gets the InputStream on the servlet  and send employee
                  //id to the servlet
                  ObjectOutputStream output = new      ObjectOutputStream(servletConnection.getOutputStream());

                  // Pass the employee ID
                  output.writeObject(new String(empId));

                  // flush and close the output
                  output.flush();
                  output.close();

                  // get the InputStream from the servlet and read the
                  //Employee  object
                  InputStream input = servletConnection.getInputStream();
                  ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(input);

                  // Get the employee object
                  Vector emp=(Vector)ois.readObject();
                  ois.close();

                  // Get the details
                  String name=(String) emp.elementAt(0);
                  String city=(String) emp.elementAt(1);

                   // set the values read into the text boxes
                   jTableStyle.setValueAt(name,1,1);
                        jTableStyle.setValueAt(city,1,2);
                   
                   //System.out.println("Finished Applet...");
            } catch(Exception e) {
                  // Exception occured during search
                  e.printStackTrace();
                  // Display message in text boxes
                  board.setText("other Exception");
            }
      }

I do get error message no 2  at line
System.out.println("error 2");

Thanks

>>String empId=(String)input.readObject();

What value do you get for the above?

Thank you CEHJ,
it solved my problem
