Serializing needs File object on Read, not on Write

Something has been bothering me. Why does Java allow to write serialized object to a file without a File object, but it requires a File object to read the serialized object back?

I refer to chapter 12, page 478 for the write method, and page 481 for the read method.

It really does not make any sense. Would the author comment on this?

Thanks
Joe
