import java.io.*;

public class ObjectOutputStreamDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      byte b = 'H';
      try {

         // create a new file with an ObjectOutputStream
         FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("test.txt");
         ObjectOutputStream oout = new ObjectOutputStream(out);

         // write something in the file
         oout.writeByte(b);
         oout.writeByte('E');

         // close the stream
         oout.close();

         // create an ObjectInputStream for the file we created before
         ObjectInputStream ois =
                 new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("test.txt"));

         // read and print what we wrote before
         System.out.println("" + (char) ois.readByte());
         System.out.println("" + (char) ois.readByte());


      } catch (Exception ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
      }

   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:
