Field Detail

IMPLEMENTATIONS

public static final Class<?>[] IMPLEMENTATIONS

The built-in implementations.

USER_IMPLEMENTATIONS

public static final List<Class<? extends VFS>> USER_IMPLEMENTATIONS

The list to which implementations are added by addImplClass(Class).

Constructor Detail

VFS

public VFS()

Method Detail

getInstance

public static VFS getInstance()

Get the singleton VFS instance. If no VFS implementation can be found for the current environment, then this method returns null.

Returns:

single instance of VFS

addImplClass

public static void addImplClass(Class<? extends VFS> clazz)

Adds the specified class to the list of VFS implementations. Classes added in this manner are tried in the order they are added and before any of the built-in implementations.

Parameters:

clazz - The VFS implementation class to add.

getClass

protected static Class<?> getClass(String className)

Get a class by name. If the class is not found then return null.

Parameters:

className - the class name

Returns:

the class

getMethod

protected static Method getMethod(Class<?> clazz,
                                  String methodName,
                                  Class<?>... parameterTypes)

Get a method by name and parameter types. If the method is not found then return null.

Parameters:

clazz - The class to which the method belongs.

methodName - The name of the method.

parameterTypes - The types of the parameters accepted by the method.

Returns:

the method

invoke

protected static <T> T invoke(Method method,
                              Object object,
                              Object... parameters)
                       throws IOException,
                              RuntimeException

Invoke a method on an object and return whatever it returns.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type

Parameters:

method - The method to invoke.

object - The instance or class (for static methods) on which to invoke the method.

parameters - The parameters to pass to the method.

Returns:

Whatever the method returns.

Throws:

IOException - If I/O errors occur

RuntimeException - If anything else goes wrong

getResources

protected static List<URL> getResources(String path)
                                 throws IOException

Get a list of URLs from the context classloader for all the resources found at the specified path.

Parameters:

path - The resource path.

Returns:

A list of URLs, as returned by ClassLoader.getResources(String).

Throws:

IOException - If I/O errors occur

isValid

public abstract boolean isValid()

Return true if the VFS implementation is valid for the current environment.

Returns:

true, if is valid

list

protected abstract List<String> list(URL url,
                                     String forPath)
                              throws IOException

Recursively list the full resource path of all the resources that are children of the resource identified by a URL.

Parameters:

url - The URL that identifies the resource to list.

forPath - The path to the resource that is identified by the URL. Generally, this is the value passed to getResources(String) to get the resource URL.

Returns:

A list containing the names of the child resources.

Throws:

IOException - If I/O errors occur

list

public List<String> list(String path)
                  throws IOException

Recursively list the full resource path of all the resources that are children of all the resources found at the specified path.

Parameters:

path - The path of the resource(s) to list.

Returns:

A list containing the names of the child resources.

Throws:

IOException - If I/O errors occur
