Appending to an ObjectOutputStream

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() + "history" , 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() + "history");
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?
