hi ,
this is my code
FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream("Data");
ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream(in);
Person readPersonData = (Person)ois.readObject();

while((readPersonData = (Person)ois.readObject()) != null){
System.out.println(readPersonData.toString());


}
ois.close();
while reading an object file i am getting this error

name =ramar
sex=m
Exception in thread "main" java.io.EOFException

ObjectInputStream.readObject does not return null on EOF, as your while loop expects. It throws an EOFException. Have a look at the API documentation for the particulars, but I recommend that you store your various Person objects in a collection of some sort and serialize that. I don't like relying on exceptions to signal something that is expected, like EOF.

Sathya,

what is "the exception"? In which line of code does it occur? Also, please UseCodeTags when posting code of any length. It's unnecessarily hard to read as it is.
