Pinpointed Problem

Below works perfectly:

import java.net.*;

import java.util.*;

import java.io.*;

public class Server{

Set strings;

ServerSocket server;

Socket connection;

ObjectInputStream input;

Iterator it;

public static void main(String args[]){

Server server;

server = new Server();

server.init();

}

public void init(){

try{

server = new ServerSocket(5000);

connection = server.accept();

input = new ObjectInputStream(connection.getInputStream());

strings = (Set) input.readObject();

System.out.println("Recived Set, Objects In Set = " + strings.size());

}

catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}

}

}

import java.net.*;

import java.util.*;

import java.io.*;

public class Client{

Set strings;

ServerSocket server;

Socket connection;

ObjectOutputStream output;

Bullet b1;

Bullet b2;

Iterator it;

public static void main(String args[]){

Client client;

client = new Client();

client.init();

}

public void init(){

try{

b1 = new Bullet();

b2 = new Bullet();

strings = new HashSet();

strings.add(b1);

strings.add(b2);

connection = new Socket(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), 5000);

output = new ObjectOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());

output.writeObject(strings);

System.out.println("Size of strings = " + strings.size());

}

catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}

}

}

Why doesnt the next block of code work:

public void updatePosition(int x, int y, Set b){

try{

output.writeInt(x);

output.writeInt(y);

output.writeObject(b);

System.out.println(b.size());

output.flush();

}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}

}

public void run(){

try{

alive = true;

output.writeObject("Connection Complete");

while(alive){

x = (int)input.readInt();

y = (int)input.readInt();

bullets = (Set)input.readObject();

System.out.println(bullets.size());

it = bullets.iterator();

while(it.hasNext()){

temp = (Bullet)it.next();

System.out.println("Bullets");

}

main.updateAll(x, y, playerNumber, bullets);

}

}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}

}

On the client side it gets the size correct, but on the server side it recieves the set with no values, the size is 0. Why?

Thatsd the original q
