title: Reading serialized object from a file?
body: <p>I want to write and read a serializable class from a object file. I can write this object to a file but I cannot seem to be able to read the object back in and write it to the console.</p>
  
  <p>Neither one of these options works. I just want to read in the object as it was written to the object file. </p>
  
  <p>Code Tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void readBinary1() throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
          ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream
                                        ("G:\\testobject.tmp"));
          input.readObject();
  
          System.out.println(new myClass());
      }
  
      public void readBinary1() throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
          ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream
                                        ("G:\\testobject.tmp"));
  
          System.out.println(new myClass(input.readObject()));
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class myClass implements Serializable {
      myClass() {}
  
      myClass(myClass b) {
         this.a = b.a;
         this.b = b.b;
      }
  
      private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
      private int a = 0;
      private int b = 100;
      private transient int c = 50;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Code Added:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    I had to add a toString to my class to do it the way that it was suggested to do. That seems to be the way that is easiest in the short run but I would rather write the object and then be able to read in the object with out having to use the toString. Is there a way that I can read in the object with one read and then be able to break the info apart with the .dot notation. Such as mc.variable1 and mc.variable2 and so on. I had to type cast the read object also before the code would compile.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There are couple of input and output streams that allow for the serialization of objects to a file. I am certain that there are different ways to wrap the classes for the read and was wondering also which way was the best way to create the read.</p>
