#15 EOFException after correct password but can continue

[Anonymous]

Dear Wolfgang,

thank you for JPasswords, i use it for almost 2 years now and i choosed it because it's written in Java.
But right of the beginning (after adding some passwords within few days) i get the annoying exception after input the correct password. I can close the exception dialog with the OK button and can continue without any failure. The exception occurs on version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 - so don't panic because of the Nikolaus Release, no other errors here so far :)

I can not download the latest pwslib3 source to compile a debug version
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pwslib3/files/Core/Stable/2-8-1/

Bye
Eric

Thank you for reporting! Both errors, the EOFException and the NullPointerException should not lead to such behaviour or should not happen. As I read the listing, your error has to do with a weird mirror file in the JPWS home directory. To verify this you should open directory "/home/eric/.jpws/mirror". In this folder, or some subfolder, I would expect to find a misplaced mirror file which is of zero length and bears a future modify time. Remove this file, and you should go fine again. You may also remove the entire mirror directory once you are sure you don't miss any data from program crashes. Please report back about success or failure!

About the missing download file, I have uploaded the file again. If the download doesn't work you can draw the latest GIT repository at https://sourceforge.net/p/pwslib3/code/ci/master/tree/ or on GitHub.

Thank you! I renamed the /.jpws/mirror directory and this solved my issue. I found zero byte files in there. The sourcecode download I mentioned works now.
Bye

Thank you! I wonder what the reason for the zero-files might be! If you don't mind, please observe the behaviour of the mirror files section and whether there are oddities reappearing. Regards.
