Sharing Entity Class Between Computers

[jpjpjpjpjp]

Hi,

I have an entity class which I would like to write from one machine to another using sockets. As each machine has a separate copy of the entity class (identical except for package declaration) a ClassCastException will be throw; it seems the only way I could do this is by extracting the data from within the entities, sending the data, then rebuilding the entities on the receiving machine, however I am sure many people must have had to do this in the past so I was wondering if there were any better solutions?

Thanks very much for your help

You might take a look at the tutorial on using object streams: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/objectstreams.html
