How to save a file with records.

I have defined a class in Java similar to a Delphi's record, now I need to save those "records" in a file on my hard disk. Someone here gave this code:
/***********************
//Write your array of Records:

MyRecordClass[] aRecs = new MyRecordClass[10];

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
 aRecs[i] = new MyRecordClass();
}

ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("c:\\myfile.obj"));

oos.writeObject(aRecs);

oos.close();

/***********************

But when I tried to do it I got the following error.

Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission e:\m
yfile.obj write)

I opened the java.policy file and added this line:
grant {permission ava.io.FilePermission "e:\\*", "write";};

Now I'm getting this error:

For objects to be written using ObjectOutputStream then the class needs to implement the Serializable interface.
From the exception it appears the inner class Clientes$Usuario does not implement Serializable.

Thanx it worked, but when I try to retrieve it using

try{
  ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream("e:\\myfile2.obj"));
  Clientes = (Clientes.Usuario[])ois.readObject();
  ois.close();
}
catch(IOException ioe){
  System.out.println("Some kind of File Error happened!!!");
  ioe.printStackTrace();
}

I'm getting this error when I compile it:
E:\Edatos\EDATOSPROY01\clientes\Clientes.java:314: unreported exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException; must be caught or declared to be thrown
               Clientes = (Clientes.Usuario[])ois.readObject();

Are you trying to read the file written by the code above?
If so, then you should be doing:

MyRecordClass[] recs = (MyRecordClass[]) ois.readObject();
