InputStream not reading booleans

Question

Hello gyus,
I'm currently working on a little something, and basically what my 'little something' is based on, is a server-client communication.
And right now, I need my server to read two strings that have been pasted into a file by my client, but at a certain time! So of course I'm having a boolean to check for when to read the text in the .DAT file.. And I'm also having a 'writeBoolean(boolean data)' method, to write that true value to the server.. But for some reason my server is not reading the boolean. Here's my 'writeBoolean(boolean data)' method:
public static void writeBoolean(boolean data){
try{
Client.objOut = new ObjectOutputStream(Client.output);
Client.objOut.writeBoolean(data);
System.out.print("Sent boolean: " +data+ "\n");
}catch(IOException ioe){
ioe.printStackTrace();
Client.close();
}And here's where I call the method:
if(!cache.exists()){
readLoginData = true;
cache.createNewFile();
Stream.writeString(username +"\n", cache);+
+Stream.writeString(password, cache);+
+Stream.writeBoolean(readLoginData);+
+}else{+
+readLoginData = true;+
+Stream.writeString(username+ "\n", cache);
Stream.writeString(password, cache);
Stream.writeBoolean(readLoginData);
}And in my client console it prints out: "Sent boolean: true", so it is sending the correct value.
And here's my 'readBoolean()' method.
public static boolean readBoolean(){
try{
ClientHandler.objIn = new ObjectInputStream(ClientHandler.input);
boolean data = ClientHandler.objIn.readBoolean();
System.out.print("Recieved boolean: " +data+ "\n");
return data;
}catch(IOException ioe){
ioe.printStackTrace();
ClientHandler.close();
return false;
}And this is where I call it:
@Override
public void run(){
while(true){
boolean readLoginData = Stream.readBoolean();
}But nothing ever shows up in my server console..
If you need to see more code, then feel free to tell me, and please help me! :)
-By the way: I'm sorry that the format is all screwed up, but the code tags always does that.. :(

Answer 1

If you need to see more code, then feel free to tell me, and please help me! :)We need less code that's more correct. Post an SSCCE. Why are Stream, Client, etc static? You can only ever have one client? These should be object/instance methods, not static. In which case, why do you even need custom read/write Boolean methods? Why not just pass around an ObjectOutputStream/ObjectInputStream?
Anyway, on a hunch I'd say you're not flushing a stream somewhere.
-By the way: I'm sorry that the format is all screwed up, but the code tags always does that.. :(No they don't. There's something wrong with the way you're pasting it. Are you copying it from another post? You should be copying it directly from your IDE.
