I'm writing objects in a link list to file and when I write more thatn a certain number I get a StackOverflowError. My list has Item objects which have long part numbers, two doubles, a string, and an int. here's the code that is failing;

try {
			FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file1);
			BufferedOutputStream bos = 
				new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
			ObjectOutputStream oos = 
				new ObjectOutputStream(bos);
			oos.writeObject(itemInventory);
			oos.close();
			
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

This is the error i get;

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError

First of all if you look at the API of the classes: ObjectOutputStream, ObjectInputStream, you will find examples on how to save and read objects. Use those.

Also what type is the itemInventory and does it implement the java.io.Serializable interface?
