    Default java.lang.IllegalStateException: unread block data when readObject

    Hi all,

    I am developing a Client/Server java application, where CSMessage is sent through socket.
    CSMessage has some data like String type and HashMap<String, String> type.

    the Client send message:
    	private ObjectInputStream in;
    	private ObjectOutputStream out;
     
                   out = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
    	in = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
     
    			try
    			{
    				out.writeObject(message);
    				out.flush();
     
    			} catch (IOException e)
    			{
    				//...
    			}

    and the following is the code snippet of the Server side:

     
    			 in = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
    			 out = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
     
    		               CSMessage fromClient = null; 
     
    				try
    				{
    					fromClient = (CSMessage) in.readObject();
     
    				} catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
    				{
    					//.....				 
    				}				
    				 catch (IOException e)
    				{						 
    					//....									}
                                                                  }

    this code works fine for more than a year untill recently exception occurred intermittently:

    Exception in thread "Thread-72" java.lang.IllegalStateException: unread block data
    at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.set BlockDataMode(ObjectInputStream.java:2393)

    sometimes we got another alternative exception :

    Exception in thread "Thread-58" java.lang.ClassCastException: cannot assign instance of com.ictbox.acc.utils.msg.CSMessage to field com.ictbox.acc.utils.msg.CSMessage.command of type java.lang.String in instance of com.ictbox.acc.utils.msg.CSMessage

    or

    Exception in thread "Thread-26" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.io.ObjectStreamClass
    at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readClassDesc(ObjectInpu tStream.java:1507)

    at com.ictbox.acc.toolbarserver.RequestThread.run(Req uestThread.java:189)

    When this happen, the only way to make the system to work is to kill the process and restart it, that's bad!

    How to solve it? Any ideas are highly apprieciated.
