Java ObjectInputStream and Vector help

[emoos]

The issue with this IoBookmarks class is it can only read the first object back from the Bookmarks.dat file and then throws java.io.StreamCorruptedException Any suggestions would be much appreciated!.

Code:

public IoBookmarks(Vector vectorBookmarks) {

myVector = vectorBookmarks;
}

public void ReadObject(){

try{

bookmarksFile = new File("Bookmarks.dat");
inStream = new FileInputStream (bookmarksFile);
objInStream = new ObjectInputStream (inStream);

myVector.setSize (1);

try{
while ((myObjectBookmark = (ObjBookmark) objInStream.readObject()) != null){

myVector.addElement (myObjectBookmark);
System.out.println("read object...");
System.out.println(myObjectBookmark.getName());
System.out.p rintln(myObjectBookmark.getAddress());
System.out.println(myObjectBookmark.ge tDate());
System.out.println(myObjectBookmark.getTime());
}
}
catch( ClassNotFoundException cnfEx){

System.out.println("class not found exception..." + cnfEx.getMessage ());
}
}
catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){

System.out.println("file not found exception..." + fnfe.getMessage());
}
catch(IOException io){

System.out.println("io exception..." + io.getMessage());
}
finally{

try{
if(objInStream != null){
objInStream.close();
}
}
catch(IOException io){
System.out.println("io exception..."+io.getMessage());
}
}

public void WriteObject(){

try{
bookmarksFile = new File("Bookmarks.dat");
outStream = new FileOutputStream (bookmarksFile,true);
objOutStream = new ObjectOutputStream (outStream);

myVector.trimToSize();

for(int b = 0;b < myVector.size();b++){

myObjectBookmark = (ObjBookmark)(myVector.get(b));

System.out.println("write object...");
System.out.println(myObjectBookmark.getName());
System.out.p rintln(myObjectBookmark.getAddress());
System.out.println(myObjectBookmark.ge tDate());
System.out.println(myObjectBookmark.getTime());

objOutStream .writeObject (myObjectBookmark);
}

}

catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){

System.out.println("file not found exception..." + fnfe.getMessage());
}
catch(IOException io){

System.out.println("io exception..." + io.getMessage());
}
finally{

try{
if(objOutStream != null){
objOutStream.flush ();
objOutStream.close ();
}
}
catch(IOException io){
System.out.println("io exception.."+io.getMessage());
}
}
}

}

Two things I changed in the code,first I was appending to the FileOutputStream but this was corrupting the object Bookmarks.dat file, so now there is no appending just read at program start,write when exiting.The second thing when reading the file into the vector and it was throwing a io exception,well it still does but now I return the vector from the exceptions and program continues to execute.

I don't think this is correct programming standard but for now it works, if any bright ideas please let us know - Theo
