java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid type code: 00

I recently ran into this problem, not doing what OP did though. Did a quick google search and didn't find anything that was too helpful and because I think I solved it I am making a comment with my solution.

TLDR: Don't have multiple threads write to the same output stream at same time (instead take turns). Will cause issues for when client side tries to read the data. Solution is putting a lock on the writing to output.

I am doing something very similar to OP, making a multiplayer (client-server model) game. I have a thread like OP that is listening for traffic. What was happening, in my server side was that server had multiple threads that were writing to a client's stream at the same time (didn't think it was possible, game was semi turn base). Client side thread that was reading the incoming traffic was throwing this exception. To solve this I basically put a lock on the part that wrote to the client's stream (on server side) so each thread in server side would have to obtain the lock before writing to the stream.
