send object using HTTPservletResponse

I have a client-server program that are using servlets to communicate with each other, each of them is sending an object (of a class that I defined) to the other. Can I send it directly using the setContentType(myClass) in the servlet? Or do I need to something completely different? I couldn't find a way to do it.

There is one more alternative approach: use WebServices. You can get to know more about them at Apache AXIS website.

You need to serialize the object at server side, send it as an array of bytes, or encoded as a text (using base64 for example), and than deserialize it at the client side.
