How to read data from file(.dat) in append mode
- by govardhan
We have an application which requires us to read data from a file (.dat) dynamically using deserialization. We are actually getting first object and it throws null pointer exception and "java.io.StreamCorruptedException:invalid type code:AC" when we are accessing other objects using a "for" loop.
File file=null;
FileOutputStream fos=null;
BufferedOutputStream bos=null;
ObjectOutputStream oos=null;
try{
file=new File("account4.dat");
fos=new FileOutputStream(file,true);
bos=new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
oos=new ObjectOutputStream(bos);
oos.writeObject(m);
System.out.println("object serialized");
amlist=new MemberAccountList();
oos.close();
}
catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
Reading objects:
try{
MemberAccount m1;
file=new File("account4.dat");//add your code here
fis=new FileInputStream(file);
bis=new BufferedInputStream(fis);
ois=new ObjectInputStream(bis);
System.out.println(ois.readObject());
**while(ois.readObject()!=null){
m1=(MemberAccount)ois.readObject();
System.out.println(m1.toString());
}/*mList.addElement(m1);** // Here we have the issue throwing null pointer exception
Enumeration elist=mList.elements();
while(elist.hasMoreElements()){
obj=elist.nextElement();
System.out.println(obj.toString());
}*/
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
}
catch(EOFException e){
System.out.println("end");
}
catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
