java - Serialization return type -

public manager restoremanager(string filename) throws ioexception,         classnotfoundexception {     // read disk using fileinputstream     fileinputstream f_in = new fileinputstream(filename);      // read object using objectinputstream     objectinputstream obj_in = new objectinputstream(f_in);      // read object     object obj = obj_in.readobject();      return ????? ; } 

i'm "returning manager object based on serialization data found in file", don't know should returning code, can't return object, because return type manager. first time working serialization, i'm unsure of here.

i've tried

return manager(obj); return obj; 

***just tried

return (manager) obj;  

and working!!

it's

return (manager)obj;  

not

return manager(obj);
