when I use readObject I get OptionalDataException (An attempt was made to read an object when the next element in the stream is primitive data), how do I fix this? Page is Serializable. writeObject works.
public Map<Long,Page<byte[]>> readAllPages(){
ObjectInputStream in = null;
try
{
in= new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(HardDisk.getDefault_File_Name()));
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Map<Long, Page<byte[]>> readMap = (Map<Long, Page<byte[]>>)in.readObject(); // exception here
return readMap;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
System.exit(0);
return null;
}
finally
{
if(in != null)
{
try {
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
public void writeAllPages(Map<Long,Page<byte[]>> hd){
ObjectOutputStream out = null;
try
{
out = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(HardDisk.getDefault_File_Name()));
out.writeObject(hd);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
System.exit(0);
}
finally
{
if(out != null)
{
try {
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
The problem was that the class that has the read method extends ObjectInputStream so I shouldn't also create the "in" object, I deleted it and exchanged it with "this" and the problem was solved!
