objectinputstream and fileinputstream

[Abhijit Gadekar]

Hello,
I am getting a problem with objectinputstream and fileinputstream.
Whenever I try to close a ObjectInputStream object it gives an
Exception. And if I try to delete the associated file on disk, the
file doesnt get deleted.

The code I have used is of following manner.

File tempfile=new File("somefile");
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputstream(tempfile);
ObjectInputStream ois=new ObjectInputStream(fis);
Now if I do

try { ois.close();
fis.close
}
catch(Exception e ) {..} // control enters catch block
try {
tempfile.delete();
}
catch(Exception e ) {..}

The File does not get deleted.
Could you please help me in this matter.

regards,
Abhijit.

I think that closing the objectinputstream in turn closes its source stream,
hence the call to fis.close() fails as the stream is already closed.

As for the file deletion problem.. Does the file.delete() method return
false? if so I would assume the app does not have enough permissions to
delete that file.
