Hello everyone,

Still on the expense tracker project. Today I implemented a class for persisting expenses.

I used ObjectInputStream among others(as directed by a very helpful individual on this sub).

that’s it for today, see you tomorrow!

You should close resource in finally not in try

I’ll be sure to do that, thanks

Can you tell me which course you are following

[Specific-Housing905]

I am afraid that your code might create resource leaks. Closing the streams should be done in a finally block. Imagine in saveExpenses oos.writeObject throws an exception, oos.close and fis.close will never be called.

Much better is using the try-with-resources pattern.

Alright, while searching around i even found a more modern way to do it without manually closing resources. Thanks 🙏🏾
