Problem while sending seriailized object from applet to servlet

Question

Hi I m having Object communication between Applet and Servlet.
I m getting error stack trace as
java.io.EOFException
     at java.io.ObjectInputStream$PeekInputStream.readFully(Unknown Source)
     at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.readShort(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readStreamHeader(Unknown Source)
     at java.io.ObjectInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
     at com.chat.client.ObjectClient.write(ObjectClient.java:56)
at the line
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
thanks in advance

the whole code is as follows....
public Serializable write(Serializable obj) throws IOException,ClassNotFoundException{
          URLConnection conn = serverURL.openConnection();
          conn.setDoOutput(true);
          conn.setDoInput(true);
          conn.setUseCaches(false);
          conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "java-internal/"+obj.getClass().getName());
          conn.connect();
          ObjectOutputStream oos= null;
          try{
          oos = new ObjectOutputStream(
               conn.getOutputStream());
                    oos.writeObject(obj);
               catch(Exception ee){
                                   ee.printStackTrace();
               finally{
                    if(oos!=null){
                         oos.flush();
                         oos.close();
                    return the reponse to the client
               ObjectInputStream ois=null;
               try{
\\this is the line where i m getting the error               
ois = new ObjectInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
                         return (Serializable)ois.readObject();
                    catch(Exception ee){
                                        System.out.println("Error in Object Client inputstream ");
                                        ee.printStackTrace();
                                        return null;
                    finally{
                         if(ois!=null){
                              ois.close();

Did anyone find a fix to this problem. I am having a similiar problem. Sometimes I receive an EOFException and othertimes I don't. When I do receive an EOFException I check for available() in the stream and it appears 0 bytes were sent to the Servlet from the Applet.
I am always open to produce this problem when I use File->New in IE my applet loads on the new page.. and then I navigate to a JSP sitting on the same application server. When I go to the Applet on the initial page and try to send an object to the server I get an EOFException. No idea!
