Returns:

The object which has been received (or null if nothing received).

Throws:

IOException - If there is a problem reading/receiving the object (maybe the underlying transportation system has failed).

OptionalDataException - Problem reading optional data associated with object being received? (Not sure about this one).

ClassNotFoundException - If the sender sent us a object which we don't have the class definition for.
