Stream closed on a ClassLoader input

[RaistlinMajeren]

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

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:

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.

[RaistlinMajeren]

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

What you've here?

login.login.main(login.java:73)

[RaistlinMajeren]

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.

[Eranga]

Is those display the correct/expected values?

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

[RaistlinMajeren]

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

[Norm]

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

[RaistlinMajeren]

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

[Norm]

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

[mjawwad]

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?

[Norm]

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

[Eranga]

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.

[Norm]

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.

[Eranga]

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.
