Byte Array mpeg file

[al_se_08]

Hi All!
im developing a chat room system, where the client can retrieve a file from the server. To make it simple, i have 3 files which the user can retrieve. A Picture, sound, and movie. They are all sent to the client using a sendMedia function which i have created. The Sound and Images are sent to the client fine, but there is a problem with the movie file(.mpeg) I will post the relevant server and client code, and indacate where the problem is occuring:

Sever Code:

public void sendMedia(String message)
	{
		try
		{
			
        	//Step 1... 
			ObjectOutputStream outStream =
					new ObjectOutputStream(
							transfer.getOutputStream());
			
			if (message.equals("getSound"))
			{
				output.println("mess:**** SOUND REQUESTED ****"); 
				
				sendFile("cuckoo.au", outStream);
				
				output.println("mess:**** SOUND SENT ****"); 
			}
			else if (message.equals("getImage"))
			{
				output.println("mess:**** IMAGE REQUESTED ****"); 
	        	 
				sendFile("car.jpg", outStream);
				
				output.println("mess:**** IMAGE SENT ****"); 
			}
			else if (message.equals("getMovie"))
			{
				output.println("mess:**** MOVIE REQUESTED ****"); 
	        	 
				sendFile("moon_walk.mpeg", outStream);
				
				output.println("mess:**** MOVIE SENT ****"); 
			}
			//To play safe, flush the output buffer...
			outStream.flush();
		}
		catch(IOException ioEx)
		{
			ioEx.printStackTrace();	
		}
	}

	private static void sendFile(String fileName,
		ObjectOutputStream outStream) throws IOException
	{
		System.out.println("start send file");

		FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream(fileName);

		long fileLen =  (new File(fileName)).length();

		int intFileLen = (int)fileLen;

		byte[] byteArray = new byte[intFileLen];

		fileIn.read(byteArray);

		fileIn.close();

		outStream.writeObject(byteArray); <-------PROGRAM CRASHES HERE

		outStream.flush();
	}

And now the client code:

private void getFile(ObjectInputStream inStream, String fileType) 
	{
		try
		{

			byte[] byteArray = (byte[])inStream.readObject();
	
	      	FileOutputStream mediaStream = null;
	
			if (fileType.equals("SOUND")){
				mediaStream = 
					new FileOutputStream
						("TransferedSound.au");
				mediaStream.write(byteArray);
				
				playMedia frame = new playMedia(fileType);

				frame.setTitle( "Transfered Sound" );
				frame.setSize(100, 100);
		      	frame.setVisible(true);
				
			}
			else if (fileType.equals("IMAGE")){
				mediaStream = 
				new FileOutputStream
			("TransferedImage.jpg");
				
				mediaStream.write(byteArray);
				
				DisplayImage pictureFrame = new DisplayImage();
				
				pictureFrame.setTitle( "Trasfered Image" );
				pictureFrame.setSize(420,310);
				pictureFrame.setVisible(true);
			}
			else if(fileType.equals("MOVIE")){
				mediaStream = 
					new FileOutputStream
				("\TransferedMovie.mpeg");
				
				System.out.println("1");
				
				mediaStream.write(byteArray);
				System.out.println("2");
				playMedia frame = new playMedia(fileType);
				System.out.println("3");

				frame.setTitle( "Trasfered Movie" );
				frame.setSize(420,310);
		      	frame.setVisible(true);
			}
		}

Any Help, or suggestions would be a great help
thanks

When you say the program 'crashes', what happens? Do you get any error messages?
Please post the full text of any error messages, including stack trace.

Today, most software exists, not to solve a problem, but to interface with other software...

oh im so dumb, iv sorted it now. The Client was not setting up as the function was looking for getMovie from the server and getMoive for the client.

all working good now
thanks

... the function was looking for getMovie from the server and getMoive for the client.

Ouch! don'tcha hate it when that happens...
