title: Update objects written to a text files in java
body: <p>Writing Java objects or a List into a text file is ok. But I want to know how I can update or rewrite a object which was written previously without writing objects again. For example, let s assume there is a java.util.List has a set of Objects. and then that list is written to a text file. Then later that file will be read again and get all objects from list and then change one object's value at run time by a java application. Then I don't need to write entire list back to the text file. Instead only the updated object in the list is required to be rewritten or updated in the text file without rewriting the whole list again. Any suggestion, or helpful source with sample codes please.</p>
