Object Stream Problems

Posted by Simon Thomas on September 14, 2001 at 4:30 AM

I have written a simple server application that creates objects with x y coordinates. These are passed along an Object Stream to a client side applet for display on a simple graph. The server sits in a loop - after sending each object, it updates the coordinates and sends them again. The first time each object is passed it all works well. However, my client applet always seems to receive the initial object, never getting the latest set of co-ordinates. I have tried everything I can think of. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is happening ?
