i very blur with the use of writeObject and readObject,

here's the client,
if (b.getLabel() == "write") {
try{
oos.writeObject((Object)event);}//event is button pressed event
oos.flush();
System.out.println("write event");
catch(Exception e){}

if(b.getLabel() == "Read"){
Event get=(Event)iis.readObject();
iis.close();
System.out.println("read event");

and here's the server

try{
ois = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());}

i try to send the button pressed event, the writeObject is ok but the
readObject is blocked. Is the event can't be sent like this? I am just
learning to do that. At server, i need do a function to forward the object
or not?

readObject() will block until the server actually writes an object to
the stream for the client to read. Has it written an object?

> At server, i need do a function to forward the object or not?

You have created two *independent* object streams, one from the client
to the server, and one from the server to the client:

client server
stream 1: ObjectOutputStream --> ObjectInputStream
stream 2: ObjectInputStream <-- ObjectOutputStream

Stream 1 and stream 2 are not connected to each other! If the client
writes an object to the server, that object is *not* automatically
sent back to the client. Is that what you are trying to do?

When the client writes an object to his ObjectOutputStream, the server
can read it from his ObjectInputStream. If the server writes an object
to his ObjectOutputStream, the client can read it from his
ObjectInputStream.

Note: it is a good idea to always create the ObjectOutputStream before
the ObjectInputStream (you did not do this in your server).

from server you have to do exactly what you do on the client but
reverse the call sequences. eg:

ois = new ObjectInputStream(req.getInputStream());
Object o = ois.readObject();
// do something with your object o and send back:
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(res.getOutputStream());
oos.writeObject(output);
oos.flush();

this example use http server req and res but you can use socket in
place.

i have modified the server like below,

class Connect extends Thread {
private Socket client = null;
private ObjectInputStream ois = null;
private ObjectOutputStream oos = null;

public Connect(Socket clientSocket) {
client = clientSocket;
try {
ois = new ObjectInputStream(client.getInputStream());
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());
} catch(Exception e1) {
try {
client.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
return;
}
this.start();
}

public void run() {
Object x = null;

try {
x = ois.readObject();
ois.close();

oos.writeObject(x);
oos.flush();

oos.close();
client.close();
} catch(Exception e) {System.out.println(e.getMessage());}//an
exception message is printed out here
}
}

i get an exception message :
Descriptor not a socket: socket write error

I have modified the server like below,
class Connect extends Thread {
private Socket client = null;
private ObjectInputStream ois = null;
private ObjectOutputStream oos = null;

public Connect() {}

public Connect(Socket clientSocket) {
client = clientSocket;
try {
ois = new ObjectInputStream(client.getInputStream());
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());
} catch(Exception e1) {
try {
client.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
return;
}
this.start();
}

public void run() {
Object x = null;

try {
x = ois.readObject();
ois.close();

oos.writeObject(x);
oos.flush();

oos.close();
client.close();
} catch(Exception e) {System.out.println(e.getMessage()); //an
exception message is printed out here
}
}
}

i get an message:
Descriptor not a socket: socket write error
what cause the error occur? How to solve it?

When you close the ObjectInputStream, it closes the underlying
SocketInputStream and ultimately the Socket itself. Your subsequent
attempt to write to the ObjectOutputStream encounters a closed Socket.

So don't close either of the streams until you have finished
communicating with that client.

ok..
after the server write the object, i get the object at client like below

if(b.getLabel()=="Connect")
{
try{
Socket socket=new Socket(host, port);
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
ois = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
}
catch(Exception e){}
}

if(b.getLabel()=="Write"){
try{
oos.writeObject((Object)event);}
catch(Exception e){}
}

if(b.getLabel()=="Read"){
try{
Event get=(Event)ois.readObject();
oos.close();
ois.close();}
catch(IOException e){}
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){}//an exception occured here

The client still can't read the object and ClassNotFoundException
occurred.
What's wrong with my code this time?

This is very shoddy practice.

Which has some hand tips, and points to here..

Did you import java.awt.Event in your server?

One more thing, you might find people can help you
a lot more easily if you provide an SSCCE

I am using Microsoft VM instead of JVM, is the exception because of no
certain class in Microsoft VM?

Probably not, but again:
