The client sends a StudentAddress object through an ObjectOutputStream on
the output stream socket, and the server receives the Student object through the
ObjectInputStream on the input stream socket, as shown in Figure 31.11. The client uses
the writeObject method in the ObjectOutputStream class to send data about a stu-
dent to the server, and the server receives the student's information using the readObject
method in the ObjectInputStream class. The server and client programs are given in
Listings 31.6 and 31.7.
