package com.bethecoder.tutorials.io;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class ObjectOutputStreamTest {

  /**
   @param args
   */
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {
      List<String> list = Arrays.asList(new String [] {
        "ONE""TWO""THREE""FOUR""FIVE""SIX"
      });
      
      System.out.println("list : " + list);
      
      ObjectOutputStream output = 
        new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("C:\\example.ser"));
      
      output.writeObject(list);
      output.close();
      
      System.out.println("Successfully written list to file");
      
    catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

}
   

It gives the following output,
list : [ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX]
Successfully written list to file
