Hey All,

Does java allow multiple OutputStreams to work together?

I'm creating a simple server program that sends an array through
ObjectOutputStream and sends a String through PrintWriter. However,
whenever I create an ObjectOutputStream and try to send data through
PrintWritert, funky characters come out. But when I dont create the
ObjectOutputStream then the message comes through on the client side or
telnet.

Below is the code that works:

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Server
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int i[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
            try
            {
                ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(8008);
                Socket client = server.accept();
                               //ObjectOutputStream o = new
ObjectOutputStream(

  // client.getOutputStream());
                PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(newOutputStreamWriter(

     client.getOutputStream()));
                p.println("Message Test");
                o.flush();
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            {
                e.printStackTrace();
           }
    }
}

When I put this line in the code, ObjectOutputStream o = new
ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream()); , then a funky character
comes out instead of the text I sent.

To see what I mean you can try this command in dos: telnet localhost
8008
