Saving hashmap to a file

Could somebody tell me why this script isn't working? It seems like it's saving, but it doesn't load it. And I don't think it's saving it right.

Source Code
That's what is saved into my players.bin

Need help as fast as possible, thanks!

 

You can't open players.bin,it's a binary file....and are you using the SLAPI to save/load?

 

Try casting the loaded Object to a Hashmap like this:

Code:

HashMap<String, String> result = (HashMap<String, String>)ois.readObject();

Then return the HashMap but not as Object.

This actually doesn't matter. It's just a name.

 

Have this now, still not working :/

Code:

    public static HashMap<String, String> load(String path) throws Exception {
        ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(path));
        HashMap<String, String> result = (HashMap<String, String>) ois.readObject();
        ois.close();
        return result;

 

Ah, just saw it, look at line 39:

Code:

load("plugins/VisualExactSpawn/players.bin");

You are calling the method. But what now? You don't assign the returned HashMap to the field 'JoinedPlayers'.

Btw: use lowercase-camelcase for fieldnames. You can easily confuse the name with a class.
E.g. use 'joinedPlayers' instead of 'JoinedPlayers'.

 

Obvious mistakes are obvious. It's working now, thank you very very much.

 

You're welcome.
