java.io.EOFException(read object)

I have 3 objects written in the file. The program outputs these 3 objects and then this java.io.EOFException error.
writing to file:
try (ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file))) {
planes.sort(Comparator.comparingInt(plane -> plane.productionYear));
planes.forEach(plane -> {
try {
objectOutputStream.writeObject(plane);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
});
objectOutputStream.flush();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
reading the file:
try (ObjectInputStream objectInputStream = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(file))) {
Object o;
while ((o = objectInputStream.readObject()) != null ){
if (o.getClass().getName().contains("Plane")) {
Plane plane = (Plane) o;
plane.productionYear = plane.productionYearCopy;
plane.speed = plane.speedCopy;
plane.engine = plane.engineCopy;
System.out.println(plane);
} else {
Ship ship = (Ship) o;
ship.productionYear = ship.productionYearCopy;
ship.speed = ship.speedCopy;
ship.engine = ship.engineCopy;
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

How to Adding Restore setting feature by FileinputStream

So I am new in programing and i adding a feature in my app which save all sharedpreference key in value in Device internal data folder by using fileoutputStream like this add all data in map and store in jsonobject
private String maptojson(){
Map<String, ?> map = prf.getAll();
JSONObject object = new JSONObject();
for (Map.Entry<String,?> entry : map.entrySet()){
try {
object.put( entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return object.toString();
}
Now Use FileOutputStream for write file in internal Storage "data'
public void backupSetting() {
Throwable th;
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream;
IOException e;
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream2 = null;
File externalStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
if (externalStorageDirectory.exists() && externalStorageDirectory.canWrite()) {
if (externalStorageDirectory.getUsableSpace() >= 1048576) {
File file = new File(externalStorageDirectory.toString() + "/data/MyApp/" + "MyAppSetting.ma");
try {
new File(file.getParent()).mkdirs();
file.createNewFile();
fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
try {
fileOutputStream.write(maptojson().getBytes());
fileOutputStream.flush();
fileOutputStream.close();
if (fileOutputStream != null) {
try {
fileOutputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e2) {
e2.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (IOException e3) {
e = e3;
try {
e.printStackTrace();
if (fileOutputStream != null) {
}
} catch (Throwable th2) {
th = th2;
fileOutputStream2 = fileOutputStream;
if (fileOutputStream2 != null) {
try {
fileOutputStream2.close();
} catch (IOException e4) {
e4.printStackTrace();
throw th;
}
}
throw th;
}
}
} catch (IOException e5) {
e = e5;
fileOutputStream = null;
e.printStackTrace();
if (fileOutputStream != null) {
try {
fileOutputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e6) {
e6.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (Throwable th3) {
th = th3;
if (fileOutputStream2 != null) {
}
try {
throw th;
} catch (Throwable throwable) {
throwable.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
Now i want to add restore setting means restore setting by using that file "MyAppSetting.ma". I know i can do it by using FileInputStream but I don't understand how to do? please help if you could

Reading objects from assets

something is really messed up. I've got a ".ser" document in the assets folder, which stores an ArrayList of Objetcs. In an android application, I want to read this objects. There are a lot of posts related to this issue, however none of them could solve my problem. The strange part is, when I am using similar code in non - android context / "normal" java, it works properly. Here, the last line throws a NullPointerException - What is going wrong?
public void getData() {
ArrayList<MyClass> output= null;
InputStream is = null;
ObjectInputStream ois = null;
try{
is = this.getAssets().open("data.ser");
ois = new ObjectInputStream(is);
output = (ArrayList<MyClass>)ois.readObject();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
ois.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Log.d("TAG", output.get(0).getId());
}

I would create a class and place the array within a single object:
public class ListObjects implements Serializable {
List<MyClass> listMyClass = new ArrayList<>();
public ListObjects(){
}
public List<MyClass> getListMyClass() {
return listMyClass;
}
public void setListMyClass(List<MyClass> listMyClass) {
this.listMyClass = listMyClass;
}
}
I had a similar problem. And it was because the name of the package in the java app was not called the same as the package name in android. And therefore I did not recognize them as equal objects. This is how I do it:
public static Object fromData(byte[] data) {
ObjectInputStream ois = null;
Object object = null;
try {
ois = new ObjectInputStream(
new ByteArrayInputStream(data));
object = ois.readObject();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ModeloApp.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} finally {
try {
ois.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ModeloApp.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
return object;
}

How do I write multiple objects to the serializable file and read them when the program is used again?

I want to maintain database of users of a Bank for my project. I am able to save the number of users in one serializable file. But when I try to save the user to database it adds only the latest one to database.
Below is the sneak peak of code which writes the objects:
if(e.getSource()==submit) {
if(uFName != null && uLName != null && uInitialDeposit !=0) {
if(uAccountType=="Savings") {
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
//Gets the number of users from file if file exists
File f = new File(fileNameAdmin);
if(f.exists() && !f.isDirectory()) {
admin=db.readFromAdminDatabase();
}
u[admin.numberOfUsers]= new User();
u[admin.numberOfUsers].fName=uFName;
u[admin.numberOfUsers].lName=uLName;
u[admin.numberOfUsers].initalDeposit=uInitialDeposit;
u[admin.numberOfUsers].interestRate=uInterestRate;
u[admin.numberOfUsers].accountType="Saving";
u[admin.numberOfUsers].accountNumber=690000+admin.numberOfSavingsAccount;
//Generates a 4 digit random number which will be used as ATM pin
u[admin.numberOfUsers].atmPin=randomGenerator.nextInt(9999-1000)+1000;
//A savings account will be created
sa[admin.numberOfSavingsAccount]=new SavingsAccount(u[admin.numberOfUsers].accountNumber,u[admin.numberOfUsers].fName,u[admin.numberOfUsers].lName,
u[admin.numberOfUsers].initalDeposit,
u[admin.numberOfUsers].interestRate);
u[admin.numberOfUsers].sa=sa[admin.numberOfSavingsAccount];
System.out.println(u[admin.numberOfUsers].sa.balance);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(submit,"Congratulations! You are now a member of Symbiosis Bank."
+ "\nYour account number is "+u[admin.numberOfUsers].accountNumber
+" and your ATM Pin is "+u[admin.numberOfUsers].atmPin,"Account Created",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
try {
//for(int j = 0; j<admin.numberOfUsers; j++)
db.addUserToDatabase(u[admin.numberOfUsers]);
admin.numberOfSavingsAccount++;
admin.numberOfUsers++;
db.updateAdminDatabase(admin);
dispose();
setVisible(false);
//Welcome welcome = new Welcome();
//welcome.setVisible(true);
InitialInput back = new InitialInput();
back.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The database class which has functions to write to database:
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class Database implements Serializable {
String fileName = System.getProperty("user.home")+"/db.ser";
String fileNameAdmin = System.getProperty("user.home")+"/admindb.ser";
public void addUserToDatabase(User u){
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
oos.writeObject(u);
oos.close();
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#SuppressWarnings("finally")
public User readFromUserDatabase() {
FileInputStream fis;
User temp = null;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
temp = (User)ois.readObject();
//System.out.println(temp.fName);
ois.close();
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
return temp;
}
}
public void updateAdminDatabase(Administrator admin) {
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(fileNameAdmin);
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
oos.writeObject(admin);
oos.close();
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#SuppressWarnings("finally")
public Administrator readFromAdminDatabase() {
FileInputStream fis;
Administrator temp = null;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(fileNameAdmin);
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
temp = (Administrator)ois.readObject();
//System.out.println(temp.fName);
ois.close();
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
return temp;
}
}
}
The code which is trying to read the database:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource()==deposit) {
//Ask the amount to deposit
int userAmountToDeposit;
try {
for(int i = 0; i<=admin.numberOfUsers; i++) {
u[i] = db.readFromUserDatabase();
System.out.println(u[i].accountNumber);
}
for(int j =0; j<=admin.numberOfUsers; j++) {
if(u[j].accountNumber==userAccountNumber) {
if(u[j].atmPin==userPin) {
u[j].accountBalance=u[j].sa.balance;
u[j].sa.deposit(10);
u[j].accountBalance=u[j].sa.balance;
System.out.println(u[j].accountBalance);
}
}
}
}

Inorder to write and read multiple objects please try as below
Writing multiple object into List
WriteObject wo=new WriteObject(20, "Mohan");
WriteObject wo1=new WriteObject(21, "Mohanraj");
ArrayList<WriteObject> woi=new ArrayList<>();
try {
FileOutputStream fop=new FileOutputStream("c://object.ser");
ObjectOutputStream oos=new ObjectOutputStream(fop);
woi.add(wo);
woi.add(wo1);
oos.writeObject(woi);
} catch NotFoundException e) {
}
Reading all objects from file
try {
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream("C://object.ser");
ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream(fis);
WriteObject wo=null;
WriteObject[] woj=new WriteObject[5];
ArrayList<WriteObject> woi=new ArrayList<>();
woi=(ArrayList<WriteObject>)ois.readObject();
for(int i=0;i<woi.size();i++){
woi.get(i).getvalues();
}
Here getvalues() is method present in Writeobject class. Follow the same mechanism for your code snippet

If you want to fix it rapidly, you can create a list and store first and foremost your objects in the list (may be ArrayList or List), and then you'll save this list on your file. That is the nice method. Make sure that your objects are serializable.
below, listeVoitures is a stactic variable that will contain all
object that i'm going to retrive from file.
public static void saveVehiculeInFile(ArrayList vehiculeList) {
ObjectOutputStream ous = null;
//ArrayList<Vehicule> listVehiculeToSave = new ArrayList<>();
try {
ous = new ObjectOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("garage.txt"))));
try {
ous.writeObject(vehiculeList);
System.out.println("\t=====> Les vehicules *** ont été ajouter dans le garage.");
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (ous != null) {
try {
ous.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
This method below is for retrive data from file
public static void readVehiculeFromFile() {
ObjectInputStream ins = null;
ArrayList<Vehicule> v = null;
try {
ins = new ObjectInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("PoweredGarage.txt"))));
try {
v = (ArrayList<Vehicule>)ins.readObject();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
for (Vehicule vehicule : v) {
listeVoitures.add(vehicule);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}finally {
if (ins != null) {
try {
ins.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}

Serialized object java

Today I started using serialized object in java, I'm new at it and I have some problems when I try to deserialize.
I have this file where I write all my Account objects, it writes fine I guess. The problem is I don't know how to refer to a specific object from that file, or how could I get all of them into a list? and then refer to it.
This is how i'm trying to read them:
public void readAccount(Account e) {
/* List<Account> results = new ArrayList<Account>();
try {
FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream("test.txt");
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn);
for (int i = 0; i < accBank.size(); i++) {
results.add((Account) in.readObject());
}
in.close();
fileIn.close();
} catch (IOException i) {
i.printStackTrace();
return;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException c) {
System.out.println("Employee class not found");
c.printStackTrace();
return;
}
for (Account acc : results) {
System.out.println(toString(acc));
if(e.getAcc_no() == acc.getAcc_no())
{System.out.println("Deserialized Account...");
System.out.println(toString(e));
}
}
*/
List<Account> results = new ArrayList<Account>();
Account acc = null;
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream("test.txt");
while (true) {
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
results.add((Account) ois.readObject());
acc = (Account) ois.readObject();
}
} catch (Exception ignored) {
// as expected
} finally {
if (fis != null)
try {
fis.close();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
System.out.println("results = " + results);
for (Account ac : results) {
System.out.println(toString(ac));
if(e.getAcc_no() == ac.getAcc_no())
{System.out.println("Deserialized Account...");
System.out.println(toString(e));
}
}
}
And this is how I write them:
public void writeAccount(Account e) {
try {
ObjectOutputStream os1 = new ObjectOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream("test.txt", true));
os1.writeObject(e);
os1.close();
} catch (Exception exc) {
exc.printStackTrace();
}
}
Edit:
public void writeFile() {
for (int i = 0; i < accBank.size(); i++) {
writeAccount(retAcc(i));
}
}
Can any of you tell me what im doing wrong? I also tried other examples from other questions and didn't work.

What you're doing wrong is that you use several ObjectOutputStreams to write to the same file (which is not a txt file, BTW, since it contains binary data), and use a single ObjectInputStream to read all the accounts. As a consequence, a new serialization header is written each time you write an account, and the ObjectInputStream doesn't expect that.
The best way to write a list of accounts is to do just that: you store the accounts into a List<Account>, and write the list. To read the list of accounts, you do just that: you read a single object from the file, and cast it to List<Account>.
