How to send Socket details through a Socket

Question

I am developing a Java application in which I need to pass details of a Socket object to remotely connected computer through a Socket... I tried it by passing the socket object in object output stream. But as "Socket" is not "serializable" it didn't work... My main idea is to get the input and Output Stream of that Socket... Actually am trying to link two different remote connection's Socket via this server's socket... Please let me know is this a good idea? Or I should think something else... Or is there any another way to do it?

Thank you...

Solution 1

Pass the information you use to open the socket rather than the socket itself: the IP address and port for example.

But how that will help me in connecting to the input and output stream of that server side Socket?

It will give you the information you need to construct a new Socket and connect it.
