[vtkusers] Serialize VTK Java objects

[Jeff Lee]

Hi,
Since you are using java on both client and server, you could use 
vtkSocketCommunicator.  It will be a big job to serialize vtk java 
objects because they contain pointers to objects in the local address 
space and cannot be moved.  You really just want to send polygons to 
your client, so you could form part of your pipeline on the server - 
just up to the point where you can get polydata output - and then send 
the vtkPolyData through the socket.  See the example SocketServer and 
SocketClient in vtk4.1.x.
