Sending objects using sockets - JAVA

Question

So I am creating an application using sockets. And I have the client who sends a message and it passes to the server using writeObject(new String("Name|Message")); .

And I read the message in the server using readObject();

I am trying to pass this string object to an array. But I get [Ljava.lang.String;@6bb9ae1a .

Here is what I am trying:

ObjectInputStream saida = new ObjectInputStream(client.getInputStream());
String[] read = saida.readObject().toString().split("|");
System.out.println(read);

I tried also to make variables for each split:

   String readm = read[1];
   String readn = read[0];

But it returns me "" as the name and "A" as the message (?)

Ow, and the socket is working, because if I do (String) saida.readObject(); it returns me the normal string.

Answer 1

use like that :

saida.readObject().toString().split("\\|"); 

and then

String readm = read[1];
String readn = read[0];

Because pipe symbol is the special character and splitting special chars is different. And you cannot use systemoutprintln to print the string array.
