Is it not possible to append to an `ObjectOutputStream`?

I am trying to append to a list of objects. Following snippet is a function that is called whenever a job is finished.

    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream
    	       (preferences.getAppDataLocation() + &quot;history&quot; , true);
    ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
    
    out.writeObject( new Stuff(stuff) );
    out.close();


But when I try to read it I only get the first in the file. 
Then I get `java.io.StreamCorruptedException`.

To read I am using

    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream
    		( preferences.getAppDataLocation() + &quot;history&quot;);
    ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fis);    

    try{
        while(true)
            history.add((Stuff) in.readObject());
    }catch( Exception e ) { 
        System.out.println( e.toString() );
    }


I do not know how many objects will be present so I am reading while there are no exceptions. From what Google says this is not possible. I was wondering if anyone knows a way?
