    Smile Reading File/Socket Problem?

    I've got a problem with a few classes at the moment that read from a text file containing a list of urls(XML files off the same server) I am attempting to stream the url that is read from the file and write it locally to a new file on disk.

    testXML.java
    package tabxmlbuilder;
     
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.URL;
     
    public class testXML {
     
        public testXML(String s) throws Exception {
            String urlin = s;
            System.out.println(s); // getTabXml passes every second line read from the text file to s for some reason
            URL url = new URL(urlin);
            File file = new File("temp.txt");
            FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);
            BufferedReader bs = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
            BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
            while (bs.read() != -1) {
                System.out.println(bs.readLine()); // When i remove this line the null pointer exception disappears but it appears to still print out the data I actually want written to disk
                bw.write(bs.readLine());
                bw.flush();
            }
        }
    }
    GetTabXml.java
    package tabxmlbuilder;
     
    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.FileReader;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;
     
    public class GetTabXml {
     
        public GetTabXml() throws IOException {
     
            FileReader fr = new FileReader("dates.txt");
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
            while (br.readLine() != null) {
                try {
                    new testXML(br.readLine());
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    Logger.getLogger(GetTabXml.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
                }    
            }
        }
    }

    Errors

    Below disappears when I remove the printline in filewriter loop.
    Jun 10, 2012 4:56:48 PM tabxmlbuilder.GetTabXml <init>
    SEVERE: null
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    	at java.io.Writer.write(Writer.java:157)

    	at tabxmlbuilder.GetTabXml.<init>(GetTabXml.java:17)
    	at tabxmlbuilder.BuildTabXmlDB.main(BuildTabXmlDB.java:130)

    This eventually happens

    Jun 10, 2012 5:16:11 PM tabxmlbuilder.GetTabXml <init>
    SEVERE: null

    The main problem that I can pass one url to GetTabXml and it works fine(writes the buffer to temp.txt) until I put it in a loop. Not sure what I am missing. Do I have to wait till the inputstream finishes the first request? I am new to java also. Thanks for your help.
