strange problem...

[Chuan Ren]

I have the following code which I do not understand the reason it is not work. i.e. Putting the driver, dbURL, login, password value in the beginning work, however, setting it in the try blocks does not. Can you please help me? Thank you.
public ConnectionManager()
{
// (This block works OK if uncommented)
//driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
//dbURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/BOOKINGSYSTEM";
//login = "root";
//password = "password";
try {
Properties Prop = new Properties();
InputStream configStream = ConnectionManager.class.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/config/database.properties");
Prop.load(configStream);
configStream.close();
//driver =Prop.getProperty("driver");
//dbURL = Prop.getProperty("dbURL");
//login = Prop.getProperty("login");
//password = Prop.getProperty("password");
// (This block DOES NOT works...why??)
driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
dbURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/BOOKINGSYSTEM";
login = "root";
password = "password";
} catch(IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error: Cannot laod configuration file ");
}
}

Hi Chuan,

I do not understand the reason it is not work

My guess is that this line of your code

Prop.load(configStream);

is not doing what you expect it to do.
Have you verified the result of this line of your code?
Good Luck,
Avi.

Hi,
I am not sure about your problem. But why can't you call configStream.close(); at the end of the try loop.
