 I have a lot of C network programs I am trying to convert across to Java. I
have a simple Java client/server working using socket. However in my
existing programs I use complex C structs to define all the different data
types in the packet. How can I do the equivalent in Java? The packet is a
mix of bytes, ints, floating point, strings, etc. I have tried a couple of
suggestions previously given in this newsgroup, but I found that each
variable was being sent as a separate TCP packet, and the network overheads
were horrific. I need a way of building up large packets that I can send as
one transmission. I need to be able to build in a Java client a packet that
will be understood by my existing C server.

Doug.
