Answer 1

receiveMSG = (Message) deserialize(receivedPacket.getData());

You need to change this to

receiveMSG = (Message) deserialize(receivedPacket.getData(), receivedPacket.getOffset(), receivedPacket.getLength);

and adjust your 'deserialise()' method accordingly, to accept 'offset' and 'length' parameters, and to use them when constructing the ByteArrayInputStream.

EDIT The code you posted doesn't compile: the expression that constructs the outgoing datagram packet is incorrect. It should be

new DatagramPacket(test, test.length, datagramSocket.getInetAddress(), datagramSocket.getPort())

I have no idea what packetOverhead is supposed to be, but you don't need it.

NB You don't need to create a new Message() the line before you call readObject().
