I have this exception I do not understand why it would be thrown or how should I handle it.
try{
File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
oos.writeObject(frame);
oos.writeObject(list);
oos.close();
}catch (IOException e){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e);
}
I believe the exception is being thrown when oos.writeObject(frame)
is read. Here I am attempting to save the JFrame object to binary. Previously I was able to write this same object to XML similarly with an XMLEncoder

I don't quite get why it works when I'm saving to XML but not to a binary file format. Everything I've read from the documentation of ObjectOutputStream and it's examples would lead me to believe that this should work as XMLEncoder does. I would print out my stack for you but this being a gui, I don't know how to enable that in the console.
