public short readShort() throws IOException
In the following code shows how to use ObjectInputStream.readShort() method.
/*from www . ja v a2 s .co m*/ import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.ObjectInputStream; import java.io.ObjectOutputStream; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { short s = 56; FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("test.txt"); ObjectOutputStream oout = new ObjectOutputStream(out); // write something in the file oout.writeShort(s); oout.writeShort(new Short("1")); oout.flush(); oout.close(); // create an ObjectInputStream for the file we created before ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream( "test.txt")); // read and print a short System.out.println(ois.readShort()); // read and print a short System.out.println(ois.readShort()); ois.close(); } }
The code above generates the following result.
