java - Correct way to send BufferedImage in object with serialization. writeObject readObject -

i'm trying send object bufferedimage through socket. realize have make transient, class implement serializable, , override writeobject , readobject methods. think write correct read keeps giving eofexception. here class:

private void writeobject(objectoutputstream out)throws ioexception{     out.defaultwriteobject();     //write buff imageio out     bytearrayoutputstream baos = new bytearrayoutputstream();     imageio.write(image, "jpg", baos); }  private void readobject(objectinputstream in) throws ioexception, classnotfoundexception{     in.defaultreadobject();     //read buff imageio in     datainputstream dis = new datainputstream(in);     int len = dis.readint();      byte[] data = new byte[len];     dis.readfully(data);     dis.close();     in.close();      inputstream ian = new bytearrayinputstream(data);     image= imageio.read(ian); } 

i think readint() in readobject throwing it.

your writeobject never writes out. writes bytearrayoutputstream not used later

update see e.g. post how list of images serialized. can skip count writing/reading
