Send an Object using HttpClient

I was looking for a way to send an Object (in my case, a Class) using HttpClient.

This is how I did it:

PostMethod httpMethod =new PostMethod(servletName);

HttpMethodParams httpMethodParams = new HttpMethodParams();

httpMethodParams.setParameter("Object Name", Object);

ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(bos);

oos.writeObject(tableDataTO);

ByteArrayRequestEntity byteArrayRequestEntity = new ByteArrayRequestEntity(bos.toByteArray());

httpMethod.setRequestEntity(byteArrayRequestEntity);

HttpClientManager.getInstance().executeRequest(httpMethod);

and in the other side, the Servlet side:

InputStream inputStream = request.getInputStream();

ObjectInputStream oos = new ObjectInputStream(inputStream);

ClassName className = null;

try {

className  = (ClassName ) oos.readObject();

} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

log.error("Unable to get ClassName  object from the request", e);

}
