Hi all,
   I am doing a web application.in that i have comnnected from a java
class to the servlet using URLConnection APIs.The problem now i am
facing is i need to return some values from the servlet to the calling
javaclass.how can i do this?
I have used the following code.
In the javaclass...

String location = "http://localhost:8080/Scroll_Sample/ScrollServlet?
param1="+username+"&param2="+password;

          URL testServlet = new URL(location);

          URLConnection servletConnection =
testServlet.openConnection();
InputStream instr = servletConnection.getInputStream();

        ObjectInputStream inputFromServlet = new ObjectInputStream(instr);

        String name1 = (String)inputFromServlet.readObject();

        System.out.println("name is "+name1);

        System.out.println("contenttype is
"+servletConnection.getContentType());

       System.out.println("within end of try");
And in the servlet............................

response.setContentType("application/x-java-serialized-object");
     OutputStream outstr = response.getOutputStream();
     ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outstr);
     String name1="anu";
     oos.writeObject(name1);

The exception i have got is
Within try
Exception isjava.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code:
500 for URL: http://localhost:8080/Scroll_Sample/ScrollServlet?param1=anu&param2=anu
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL:
