java client cpp server socket program

hi guys im tryin to do a java client / c++ server socket program .in the java client program i serialize the object and pass them over socket to c++ server.now when im gettin them in c++,im not able to deserialize it properly as i tried for binary serialization since c++ does not support object serialization.but it didnt work out properly,as when im printin the member variables of c++ class im gettin junk values.i did came across many libraries like Boost which supports serialization but was not sure whether it will deserialize a java object.

so what if my approach for dis problem is right or shud i go for JNI or any other concepts.if its in JNI then i fear my c++ server 'ill be loaded as shared library file along with java file at runtime which i think 'ill not be a right way to do client-server socket program.

my java client code:

import java.io.*; import java.net.*; public class KnockKnockClient { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { Socket kkSocket = null; ObjectOutputStream oos=null; Sample s; String str="hello dude"; try{ kkSocket = new Socket("localhost", 4455); oos = new ObjectOutputStream(kkSocket.getOutputStream()); } catch (UnknownHostException e) { System.err.println("Don't know about host: 192.168.1.137."); System.exit(1); } catch (IOException e) { System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for the connection to: 192.168.1.137."); System.exit(1); } s=new Sample(); oos.writeObject(str); System.out.println("name :" + s.name); System.out.println("age :" + s.value); kkSocket.close(); } } class Sample implements Serializable { String name="xyz"; int value=10; }

my c++ server code :

#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include<sys/types.h> #include<sys/socket.h> #include<netinet/in.h> #include<arpa/inet.h> #include<sys/stat.h> #include<fcntl.h> using namespace std; class Data { public: char data1[255]; char val1[255]; }; int main() { int create_socket,new_socket,fd; socklen_t addrlen; struct sockaddr_in address; if ((create_socket = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0)) > 0) cout<<"The socket was created\n"; address.sin_family = AF_INET; address.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;//INADDR_ANY;inet_addr("localhost"); address.sin_port = htons(4455); cout<<"\nworking"; if (bind(create_socket,(struct sockaddr *)&address,sizeof(address)) == 0) cout<<"Binding Socket\n"; listen(create_socket,3); addrlen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in); cout<<"*************************\n"; new_socket = accept(create_socket,(struct sockaddr *)&address,&addrlen); cout<<"*************************\n"; Data dobj; if (new_socket > 0) { cout<<"The Client "<<inet_ntoa(address.sin_addr)<<" is Connected...\n";//inet_ntoa(address.sin_addr)); int ch = recv(new_socket,&dobj,1023,0); perror("recv"); cout<<"Status = "<< ch<<"\n"; ifstream in("binary.txt", ios::binary); in.read((char*)&dobj, sizeof(dobj)); if(ch !=-1) { cout<<"Client: received "<<dobj.data1<<"\n"; cout<<"Client: received "<<dobj.val1<<"\n"; cout<<"Request Completed\n"; } else perror("recv"); } else { cout<<"Client not connected ...\n"; } close(new_socket); return close(create_socket); }

o/p for client / server looked like this:

java client:
*********************

*********************

name :xyz
age :10

c++ server:
The socket was created

workingBinding Socket
*************************
*************************
The Client 127.0.0.1 is Connected...
recv: Success
Status = 4
Client: received �
Client: received _+
Request Completed

it would be great if any1 cud throw a light on this topic on how to deserialize a java object in c++ if its possible if its not possible , then what all other concepts i can use to solve dis problem.

thanx
