Stream closed on a ClassLoader input

Here is my code (yes, I know part of it isn't used anymore):

Quote:

---

public static boolean comparePasswords(String input) throws IOException{
String password = "";
String file = "src/password.spm";

FileInputStream passwordRead = new FileInputStream(file);
BufferedInputStream passwordBuffer = new BufferedInputStream(ClassLoader.getSystemResourceA sStream(file));
DataInputStream passwordInput = new DataInputStream(passwordBuffer);

while(passwordInput.available() != 0){ //<---- Here is the error
password = passwordInput.readLine();
}

if(encrypt(input).equals(password)){
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}

---

and my problem:

Quote:

---

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Stream closed
at java.io.BufferedInputStream.getInIfOpen(Unknown Source)
at java.io.BufferedInputStream.available(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FilterInputStream.available(Unknown Source)
at login.login.comparePasswords(login.java:29)
at login.login.main(login.java:73)

I don't close the stream anywhere, so I don't understand what it is whining about - can "ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream(file)" not be used like that?

Check the file path once.

Yes? It is not a FileNotFound error, which it was initially, until I changed it to what it says now.

What you've here?

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
String password = "hej";
System.out.println(encrypt(password));
System.out.println(comparePasswords(password));
}

Just a main to check it.

Is those display the correct/expected values?

Code:

---

System.out.println(encrypt(password));
System.out.println(comparePasswords(password));

The first one is, but the second is where it bugs, because it calls my comparePasswords.

How/where is the code being executed?
What jdk and jre are you using?

Well the code is being executed in that main, in the same class (see my reply), I am using JavaSE 1.6 in my eclipse

Have you tried it at a command prompt, not in eclipse?

Please try this code :

public static boolean comparePasswords(String input) throws IOException
{
FileReader reader = new FileReader("src/password.spm");
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
BufferedReader passwordBuffer = new BufferedReader(reader);

String line = null;
while ((line = passwordBuffer.readLine()) != null)
buffer.append(line);

return encrypt(input).equals(buffer.toString());
}

I'm confusing why you suggest this lol. Any special reason to try out this?

To remove any special paths used by IDE. If everything is in the same folder for testing it removes one source of confusion

Hmmm, that's interesting. So we can boil done those path issues. But at the same time, I think that in most of the IDEs we can specify relative paths as well as absolute paths.

I like to keep it simple (only one folder) until I've fixed the other problems. Then add code for allow for using other folders.

In most of the cases, what I'm doing is that keep all resources (files, images, etc..) in a single folder and use the hard corded values. Later I'm worried about the structuring them.
