Password With Java(Error)

Hi !

I want to make a console window program which take a password from window and compare it with a predefined password and then will show password match or not match.

my code is where which is compiling and running too.

But the problem is that when i am taking password input(wrong or correct password in both) from console its always showing result "not match" . please help me :((

here is the code :((

Code :

---

 
import java.io.Console;
 
public class Main
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
 
		Console console = System.console();
 
    	char[] passwordArray={'s'};
 
    	char[] passwordArray2 = console.readPassword("Enter your secret password: ");
 
		if((passwordArray==passwordArray2))
    	{
			console.printf("Match\n");
		}
 
		else
		{
			console.printf("not Match");
		}
	}
 
}

The == operator does not compare the contents of two arrays.
See the Arrays class for a method that may help.

can you please make the code correct for me?

Did you find the API doc for the class I suggested? What method did you try?

i have used

if( passwordArray.equals(passwordArray2))

still same problem :(

Did you read the API doc for the Arrays class to see if any of its methods would help you?

tnx norm ur link helps me much....

import java.util.Arrays;
toCharArray() and if (Arrays.equals(p1, p2)) helps me much



import java.io.Console;
import java.util.Arrays;

public class Password{

public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();

char[] password = "shaon".toCharArray();

char[] passwordEntered = console.readPassword("Enter password: ");

if (Arrays.equals(password, passwordEntered))
{
System.out.println("\n Access granted \n");

}
else
{
System.out.println("Access denied");
System.exit(1);
}
}
}

I'm glad you got it working.
