My code is
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
public class ObjectStreamExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Person person = new Person();
person.setFirstName("Abhishek");
person.setLastName("Choudhary");
person.setAge(25);
person.setHouseNum(256);
ObjectOutputStream stream = null;
try {
stream = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("Serialize.txt")));
stream.writeUTF(person.toString());
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
if(stream != null)
try {
stream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
ObjectInputStream input = null;
try {
input = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("Serialize.txt")));
Person person2 = (Person) input.readObject();
System.out.println(person2.getFirstName());
System.out.println(person2.getLastName());
System.out.println(person2.getAge());
System.out.println(person2.getHouseNum());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
if(input != null)
try {
input.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
and one Person bean file.
I get an exception
java.io.OptionalDataException on java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0 (Unknown source) in java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject (Unknown source) in com.practise.interview.nio.ObjectStreamExample.main (ObjectStreamExample.java:62)
It rises because I think -
An attempt was made to read an object when the next element in the stream is primitive data. In this case, the OptionalDataException exception the field length is set to the number of bytes of primitive data is immediately read from the stream, and the eof field is set to false.
But how to avoid this, as I know, I set a primitive value, so I avoid it.
