can i write an Object back as an http response.

Yes, though your object must be Serializable.

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)

throws ServletException, IOException {

// code here for real work: Assume obj is the object you want to send back

try {

ObjectOutputStream oos =

new ObjectOutputStream(res.getOutputStream());

oos.writeObject(obj);

oos.close();

} catch (IOException exc) {

exc.printStackTrace();

}

}
