“copy content of one file to

another file”

1.0 AIM OF MICRO PROJECT

The aim of our micro project is to copy content from one file to
another

2.0 COURSE OUT COMES ADDRESSED

a. Develop programs using Object Oriented methodology in Java.

b. Apply concept of inheritance for code reusability.
c. Develop programs using multithreading.
d. Implement Exception Handling.
e.Develop programs using graphics and applet.
f. Develop programs for handling 1/0 and file streams.

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY Page 4

 3.0 PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

1. Basics: Introduce file handling concepts and streams.

2. Text File I/O: Teach reading and writing text files.
3. Exception Handling: Cover handling file-related exceptions.
4. Manipulation: Discuss copying, renaming, and deleting files.
5. Serialization: Introduce object serialization for data persistence.
6. NIO APIs: Teach asynchronous file I/O operations.
7. Binary File I/O: Cover reading and writing binary data to files.
8. Complex Formats: Discuss processing CSV, XML, and JSON files.
9. Integration: Show how to integrate file operations with databases and web
services.
10. Debugging: Teach debugging and troubleshooting techniques.
11. Project: Assign a practical project for hands-on application.
12. Assessment: Evaluate through quizzes, assignments, and project work.

 4.0 LITERATURE REVIEW

1. Traditional I/O streams like FileInputStream and FileOutputStream offer

a straightforward method.

2. NIO (New I/O) API, introduced in Java 1.4, provides efficient

alternatives with features like channels and buffers.

3. Effective exception handling and error management are essential for

robust file copying.

4. Best practices include using appropriate buffer sizes and minimizing disk
I/O operations.

5. Integration with third-party libraries like Apache Commons IO or

Google Guava can simplify file copying tasks.

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY Page 6

 5.0 ACTUAL METHODOLOGY FOLLOWED

. Open input and output streams for the source and destination files.
. Read content from the source file and write it to the destination file in
chunks.
. Close the streams to release system resources.

import java.io.*;

public class FileCopy {

public static void main(String[] args)
{String sourceFilePath = "source.txt";
String destinationFilePath = "destination.txt";

try (FileInputStream inputStream = new

FileInputStream(sourceFilePath);
FileOutputStream outputStream = new
FileOutputStream(destinationFilePath)) {

byte[ ] buffer = new byte[1024];

int bytesRead;

// Read from input stream and write to output stream

while ((bytesRead = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}

System.out.println("File copied successfully!");

} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("An error occurred while copying the file: " +
e.getMessage());
}
}
}
.

 6.0 Advantages :

1. Portability across different platforms.

2. Efficient I/O operations, especially for large files.
3. Simplified coding with high-level abstractions.
4. Robust error handling mechanisms.
5. Enhanced security features.
6. Seamless integration with other Java libraries and external systems.
7. Scalability to handle various file sizes and types.
8. Strong community support for assistance and best practices.

7.0 Disadvantages :

1. Performance overhead due to platform independence and abstraction

layers.
2. Complexity for simple tasks, particularly for beginners.
3. Higher memory consumption, especially for large files.
4. Dependency on external libraries may complicate deployment.
5. Limited low-level control over file operations.
6. Security vulnerabilities if not implemented securely.
7. Requirement of a Java Runtime Environment for deployment.

 8.0 APPLICATIONS

1. Portable: They can run on any platform with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
2. Secure: They provide built-in security features like bytecode verification.
3. Robust: They offer strong exception handling and memory management.
4. Scalable: They support multi-threading and distributed computing.
5. Versatile: They are used for web development, desktop applications, mobile
apps, and more.
6. Community-supported: They benefit from a large community for resources
and support.

11.0 OUTPUT OF THE PROJECT

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY Page

 12.0 CONCLUSION

In short, Java is a versatile and widely-used programming language

known for its platform independence, robust security features, and
extensive libraries. Despite potential drawbacks like performance
overhead and complexity, it remains a top choice for software
development due to its scalability, reliability, and strong community
support. Overall, Java continues to be a leading language for building
a wide range of applications across various domains.
