Message:

reading from an appended file using ObjectInputStream

Posted by Rachna on February 24, 2001 at 2:42 AM

hi,
I have opened a file in append mode
using ObjectOutputStream out=new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("filename",true));

now my problem is that when i try to read the file using
ObjectInputStream in =new ObjectInputStream(new
FileInputStream("filename"));

i get an error that
java.io.StreamCorruptedException: Type code out of range, is -84
what should i do?

where am i going wrong.
