How to send String array Object over Socket?

Question

I have String array object. Lets say

String[] names = new String[7];

And I am also making this object persistent by storing it into file using ObjectOutputStream on my client system. I am reading the stored object using ObjectInputStream. Upto this Okay. Now I want to send this object to another system over socket.

How to do it? Please help. Thanks.

Answer 1

You should create instance of Socket
get output stream and write to it (e.g. with ObjectOutputStream).

Socket echoSocket = new Socket(hostName, portNumber);
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(echoSocket.getOutputStream());
out.writeObject(names);  

You can find an example in Oracle docs: example.
