ObjectOutputStream defaultWriteObject() in Java

defaultWriteObject(): This method is available in the java.io.ObjectOutputStream class of Java.

Syntax:

void java.io.ObjectOutputStream.defaultWriteObject() throws IOException

This method writes the non-static and non-transient fields of the current class to this stream. This may only be called from the writeObject method of the class being serialized.

Note:

It will throw the NotActiveException if it is called otherwise.

Parameters: NA

Returns: NA

Throws:

IOException - if I/O errors occur while writing to the underlying OutputStream

Approach

Java

package com.ObjectOutputStream;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;

public class ObjectOutputStreamdefaultWriteObject {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        FileOutputStream fileStream = 
                  new FileOutputStream("D:\\hello.txt");

        ObjectOutputStream objStream =
                         new ObjectOutputStream(fileStream);

        objStream.defaultWriteObject();
        System.out.println("Successfully writes
                                     the default object");

        objStream.close();
    }
}

Output:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.NotActiveException: not in call to writeObject
	at java.base/java.io.ObjectOutputStream.defaultWriteObject(ObjectOutputStream.java:441)
	at com.ObjectOutputStream.ObjectOutputStreamdefaultWriteObject.main(ObjectOutputStreamdefaultWriteObject.java:14)
