Send object via socket

I want to send x object over socket but when I run this code i got nothings. it is stop at new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream()) and don't do any thing else.

Server class:

public class Server {
private static final int PORT = 9001;
ServerSocket listener;
private Handler h[] = new Handler[5];
private int clientCount = 0;
public Server() throws Exception{
    System.out.println("The server is running.");
    listener = new ServerSocket(PORT);
    run();
}
public void run(){
    while (true) {
        try {
            addClient(listener.accept());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
  private void addClient(Socket socket) throws Exception{
    h[clientCount] = new Handler(this, socket,clientCount);
    h[clientCount].open(); 
    clientCount++;

}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Server s = new Server();

}
}

Handler class // Handle class:

public class Handler extends Thread {
private Server  server;
private Socket socket;
private int ID = -1;
private ObjectInputStream obIn = null;
private ObjectOutputStream obOut = null;
public Handler(Server _server, Socket _socket, int i){
    super();
      server = _server;
      socket = _socket;
      ID     = i;
}
 public void open() 
   {  
      try {
          obIn = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
      obOut = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
      x= ob.readObject();
    } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
    }   
   }
}

The client:

public class Client  {
ObjectInputStream oin;
ObjectOutputStream oot;
private Socket socket = null;
public Client() {
    String serverAddress = "127.0.0.1";
    try {
     socket = new Socket(serverAddress, 9001);
        oin = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
        oot = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
        System.out.println("hello i am a client");
        oot.writeObject(x);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Client client = new Client();
}
}

You must declare the ObjectOutputStream before you declare the ObjectInputStream.

When you create an ObjectInputStream, it waits for data from an ObjectOutputStream. It's waiting on that data (the header).

public ObjectInputStream(InputStream in) throws IOException {
     verifySubclass();
     bin = new BlockDataInputStream(in);
     handles = new HandleTable(10);
     vlist = new ValidationList();
     enableOverride = false;
     readStreamHeader(); //this is whats causing it to block
     bin.setBlockDataMode(true);
}


protected void readStreamHeader() throws IOException, StreamCorruptedException {
     short s0 = bin.readShort();
     short s1 = bin.readShort();
     if (s0 != STREAM_MAGIC || s1 != STREAM_VERSION) {
          throw new StreamCorruptedException(String.format("invalid stream header: %04X%04X", s0, s1));
     }
}

If you declare ObjectOutputStream first, it sends the data, which isn't blocking
