How can i send serialized object from Android Client to Google App Engine Servlet.
i have this code:

private static HttpClient getHttpClient() 
{
if (mHttpClient == null) 
{
    mHttpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    final HttpParams params = mHttpClient.getParams();
    HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
    HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
    ConnManagerParams.setTimeout(params, HTTP_TIMEOUT);
}
return mHttpClient;
}

{    
  HttpClient client = getHttpClient();
  HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
  request.set( ????

Here you go:

ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutput out = new ObjectOutputStream(bos);   
out.writeObject(obj);
byte[] yourObjectSerialized = bos.toByteArray();

HttpClient client = getHttpClient();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
request.setEntity(new ByteArrayEntity(yourObjectSerialized));
