Both ways, java <=> python, communication using py4j

I am using py4j for communication between python and java.I am able to call python method from java side. But from python I am not able to send any object or call java method. Here is the code i have tried.

My java code:

public interface IHello {
    public String sayHello();

    public String sayHello(int i, String s);

//    public String frompython();

}

//ExampleClientApplication.java
package py4j.examples;

import py4j.GatewayServer;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

public class ExampleClientApplication extends Thread {

public void run(){
    System.out.println("thread is running...");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    GatewayServer.turnLoggingOff();
    GatewayServer server = new GatewayServer();
    server.start();
    IHello hello = (IHello) server.getPythonServerEntryPoint(new Class[] { IHello.class });
    try {
        System.out.println("Please enter a string");
        String str = br.readLine();
        System.out.println(hello.sayHello(1, str));
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    ExampleClientApplication t1 = new ExampleClientApplication();
    t1.start();
    //server.shutdown();
  }
}

My python code :

class SimpleHello(object):
    def sayHello(self, int_value=None, string_value=None):
        print(int_value, string_value)
        return "From python to {0}".format(string_value)

class Java:
    implements = ["py4j.examples.IHello"]

# Make sure that the python code is started first.
# Then execute: java -cp py4j.jar 
py4j.examples.SingleThreadClientApplication

from py4j.java_gateway import JavaGateway, CallbackServerParameters
simple_hello = SimpleHello()

gateway = JavaGateway(
callback_server_parameters=CallbackServerParameters(),
python_server_entry_point=simple_hello)
