Non-blocking method for reading writing objects to sockets

[logicstorm]

Non-Blocking Object Serialization via a socket

Client side:
Socket server = Socket(serverAddress, serverPort).connect();
OutputStream outStream = server.getOutputStream();
OutputObjectStream objectOutStream = new OutputObjectStream(outStream);

//write to server
outStream.write(1);
outObjectStream.write(MySerializableObject);


ServerSide:

Socket client = serverSocket.accept();
InputStream inStream = client.getInputStream();
InputObjectStream inObjectStream = new InputObjectStream(inStream);

//main driving while loop of the server
while (running_forever) {
//do all kinds of work
if (inStream.available() >0) { //NON-BLOCKING
//read in the number the client sent (pick it off the stream)
inStream.read();
//read in the object the client sent
Object = inObjectStream.readObject();
}

//do other kinds of work

}
