Java, a way to store stuff?

[TheSyntaX]

Hey, I got college project, and in project I have about 1000 questions for user, where could I store them? Like can I store them in array or some kind of database? My group of 10 people will have to type out all questions so I was wondering is there any easy way to do this?

P.S - the reason I created new thread is because that "What you need help with" is useless, I asked same question there no replies.

Store the questions in a text file, one per line, then read them on program startup.

text file, xml file, or a simple database with SQLite

I don't know if there are any good XML libraries for Java, but I've found that JSON's Java distribution works quite well.

As for storage within the program itself, I would write a Question class that holds all data/methods that pertains to a question and then store them in an array or similar fast-access container.

a md5 hashed xml inside a gzipped tarball would fit for that

^or a .txt

You should get a job in show business, you're great at technobabble.

You could use [b]DataInputStream[/b] and [b]DataOutputStream[/b] to read/write them to file.

FileInputStream fileStream = new FileInputStream("hello.dat");
DataInputStream dataStream = new DataInputStream(fileStream);

//read the string
String question = dataStream.readUTF();

//close
fileStream.close();
dataStream.close();

...and to write to file:

FileOutputStream fileStream = new FileOutputStream("hello.dat");
DataOutputStream dataStream = new DataOutputStream(fileStream);

//write the string
fileStream.writeUTF("question");

//close
fileStream.close();
dataStream.close();

To store them to memory, you could either use an array or ArrayList.

Hope this helps.
