The thing, that you need, is called an ObjectOutputStream. it is created from the regular OutputStream. At the reciever side you will need the appropriate ObjectInputStream. Your object and all of it's fields must implement Serializable interface.

Example code:

OutputStream os = socket.getOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(os);
oos.writeObject(p);
