Greetings,

Does anybody know whether it's possible to send object's over a
MulticastSocket(UDP)?

I know it's possible to send a serializable object over a TCP socket,
which can be read via readObject(ObjectInputStream s), and must then
be explicitly cast to the appropriate type. Is it possible to do
something similar with a UDP MulticastSocket? If so, how do you
send/receive the object?

Thanks in advance,

Don
