Hi there,

I'm trying to copy a file from my .cod file into the file system so I can overwrite it etc. However, I can't seem to get the file to write. This is the code I'm using right now, I found it when searching the community.

try {
            FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open("file:///store/home/holidays.xml");
            if (!fc.exists()) {
                fc.create();
                OutputStream os = fc.openOutputStream();
                InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/xml/holidays.xml");
                byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
                int len = 0;
                while ((len = is.read(buf)) > 0) {
                    os.write(buf, 0, len);
                }
                is.close();
                os.close();
                add(new LabelField("Wrote file."));
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

This is in the constructor for the screen. When I run the app, I dont get "Wrote file.", just a blank screen. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you in advance,

Ben

Hi Ben,

Use a debugger to see which line is throwing an error.

Once you will have that, it will be easier to find a solution.

Also, are you sure that:

1. The file file:///store/home/holidays.xml doesn't already exist?

2. The path/xml/holidays.xml is the correct path for the resource file?

Hope that helps,

E.

Thanks for the advice,

I finally figured out what was going on; something about reading the xml/holidays.xml file wasn't working at all. In the end I read from a holidays.txt file to an xml file in the file system. Its not a good solution but it works fine now.

Thanks,

Ben
