ObjectInputStream gives IOException when readObject() is called

Question

I'm trying to copy a file with .dat extension from a certain directory decided by the user into the project directory. When I try to read the saved object selected by the user, the program always gives IOException.

File f = new File(chooser.getSelectedFile().getPath());
if(f.exists() && !f.isDirectory()) {
    FileInputStream flusso= null;
    ObjectInputStream leggiObj=null;
    try {
        flusso = new FileInputStream(chooser.getSelectedFile().getPath());
        System.out.println(chooser.getSelectedFile().getPath());
        leggiObj = new ObjectInputStream(flusso);
        if (leggiObj.readObject().getClass().equals(DatiProgresso.class)) {

            DatiProgresso dp = (DatiProgresso) leggiObj.readObject();//<----THIS LINE GIVES THE EXEPTION
            leggiObj.close();
            flusso.close();
            System.out.println("Ciao");
            FileOutputStream fop = new FileOutputStream("salvataggi/" + dp.getNome() + ".dat");
            ObjectOutputStream scriviObj = new ObjectOutputStream(fop);
            scriviObj.writeObject(dp);
            scriviObj.flush();
            fop.close();
        } else {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Unacceptable file", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
        }
    } catch (HeadlessException ex) {
        System.out.println("HeadlessException");
        ex.printStackTrace();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
        System.out.println("FileNotFoundException");
        ex.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        System.out.println("IOException");
        ex.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
        System.out.println("ClassNotFoundException");
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}
else
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Unacceptable file", "Error" ,JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
}

DatiProgresso dp = (DatiProgresso) leggiObj.readObject();

This line gives the exception.

Answer 1

leggiObj.readObject().getClass().equals(DatiProgresso.class) - here you read your object from the data stream. On next line you attempt to read 2nd object from the stream. If there is no another object then stream fails.
