Java Programming

Hi!
I have a small servlet that receives some text from a client, and returns a response. The problem is that when i try to receive the data in the servlet, I get and EOFException. And when the client tries to read the response, a StreamCorruptedException is thrown. Can anybody please point me in the right direction here?

The code for servlet is as follows:

	protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
		DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream((InputStream) request.getInputStream());

		String message;
		String text = null;
		try {
			text = in.readUTF();//EOFException thrown here!
			message = "100 ok";
		} catch (Throwable t) {
			message = "200 " + t.toString();
		}
		response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
		response.setContentLength(message.length());
		in.close();
		PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
		out.println(message);
		out.flush();
		out.close();
		System.out.println(". Received text: " + text == null ? "none" : text);
	}

And the code for the client:

	@Test
	public void test2() throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
		String input = "This text is to be sent";
		URL serverURL = new URL("http://localhost:8080/myURL");
		URLConnection con = serverURL.openConnection();
		con.setDoInput(true);
		con.setDoOutput(true);
		con.setUseCaches(false);		
		con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-java-serialized-object");
		OutputStream outstream = con.getOutputStream();
		ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outstream);
		oos.writeObject(input);
		oos.flush();
		oos.close();
		InputStream instr = con.getInputStream();
		ObjectInputStream inputFromServlet = new ObjectInputStream(instr);//StreamCorruptedException thrown here ("invalid stream header")
		String result = (String) inputFromServlet.readObject();
		inputFromServlet.close();
		instr.close();

		System.out.println(result);

	}

The EOFException is thrown at the line text = in.readUTF(); in the servlet, and the StreamCorruptedException is thrown at ObjectInputStream inputFromServlet = new ObjectInputStream(instr); in the client. What is wrong here?
