sending p.getInputStream() to browser at client end

[techie]

Hi all,

consider the following code

//in RMI server object

Process p= Runtime.getRuntime().exec(something);

I want to be able to send the output generated by p.getInputStream to
the client browser. A servlet behaves like a RMI client and I send
"out"

WHERE PrintWriter out = request.getWriter()

to the RMI server. there if I say, out.println("message"), I get the
following exceptions:

java.rmi.UnmarshalException: error unmarshalling arguments; nested
exception is:
java.io.EOFException
