How to Serialize an Object:
I have an Automotive class which has the following methods.
Iam able to read the i/p file and print the o/p in another file.
But when iam trying to serialize the Automotive class a .dat file is created but the o/p is not printed.
Can we do the serialize the Automotive object in the same class as i have done below?
Or should i create an instance of the class in the main() and then serialize()?
help required.
Here's the code below:
public class Automotive implements Serializable{
BufferedReader inputstream;
BufferedWriter outputstream;
StringTokenizer st;
OptionSet[] os= new OptionSet[50];//Instantiating OptionSet Class
private int coo[]=new int[50];//count of options
private String noo[]=new String[50];//array of options names
private int price[]=new int[50];//array of options price
private String type[]=new String[50];//array of option sets
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public void readFile()
{
try
{
inputstream = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:\\CarInputData.txt"));
outputstream = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("C:\\CarOutputData.txt"));
String line= inputstream.readLine();
st = new StringTokenizer(line,":");
outputstream.write("Car Model :" + st.nextToken());
outputstream.newLine();
inputstream.close();
outputstream.close();
}//end of try block
--
public void serializeAuto(Automotive a)
{
try
{
ObjectOutputStream output=new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("C:\\CarData.dat"));
output.writeObject(a) ;
output.flush();
output.close();
}
}
--
public void deserializeAuto()
{
Automotive a;
try
{
ObjectInputStream input=new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("C:\\CarData.dat"));
a = (Automotive) input.readObject();
}
}
