Followings are the changes that I have made as per the review:

To read the file:

RandomAccessFile serFile = null;
FileChannel fileChannel = null;

try {
    serFile = new RandomAccessFile(file, "rw");
    fileChannel = serFile.getChannel();
    FileLock lock = fileChannel.lock();
    ObjectInputStream objectInputStream = null;
    
    try {
        objectInputStream = new ObjectInputStream(Channels.newInputStream(fileChannel));
        return clazz.cast(objectInputStream.readObject());
    } catch (Exception cause) {
        cause.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        lock.release();
        closeStream(objectInputStream);             
    }
} catch (Exception cause) {
    cause.printStackTrace();
} finally {
    closeStream(fileChannel);
    closeStream(serFile);
}

• If there is any drawback present in the code?
• Is the right way to do it?
• What happens if the length of the RandomAccessFile is greater than Integer.MAX_VALUE? How to handle that scenario?
