Question

I am feeling really stupid right now guys…. basically I am connecting over TCP on a local machine… and when I try to make the In/out streams at the client it wont get passed creating the object input stream. What gives? This stops after printing 2… no exceptions or anything… This isn’t the first time I’ve used this class which is partialy why I am puzzled.

try {
            System.out.println("1");
            mySocket = new Socket("localhost", 11311);
            System.out.println("12");
            oos = new ObjectOutputStream(mySocket.getOutputStream());
            System.out.println("2");
            ois = new ObjectInputStream(mySocket.getInputStream());
            System.out.println("13");

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Answer 1

From the specification of ObjectInputStream:

This constructor will block until the corresponding ObjectOutputStream
has written and flushed the header.
