Constructor Detail

UrlResource

public UrlResource(java.net.URI uri)
            throws java.net.MalformedURLException

Create a new UrlResource based on the given URI object.

Parameters:

uri - a URI

Throws:

java.net.MalformedURLException - if the given URL path is not valid

UrlResource

public UrlResource(java.net.URL url)

Create a new UrlResource based on the given URL object.

Parameters:

url - a URL

UrlResource

public UrlResource(java.lang.String path)
            throws java.net.MalformedURLException

Create a new UrlResource based on a URL path.

Note: The given path needs to be pre-encoded if necessary.

Parameters:

path - a URL path

Throws:

java.net.MalformedURLException - if the given URL path is not valid

See Also:

URL.URL(String)

UrlResource

public UrlResource(java.lang.String protocol,
                   java.lang.String location)
            throws java.net.MalformedURLException

Create a new UrlResource based on a URI specification.

The given parts will automatically get encoded if necessary.

Parameters:

protocol - the URL protocol to use (e.g. "jar" or "file" - without colon); also known as "scheme"

location - the location (e.g. the file path within that protocol); also known as "scheme-specific part"

Throws:

java.net.MalformedURLException - if the given URL specification is not valid

UrlResource

public UrlResource(java.lang.String protocol,
                   java.lang.String location,
                   java.lang.String fragment)
            throws java.net.MalformedURLException

Create a new UrlResource based on a URI specification.

The given parts will automatically get encoded if necessary.

Parameters:

protocol - the URL protocol to use (e.g. "jar" or "file" - without colon); also known as "scheme"

location - the location (e.g. the file path within that protocol); also known as "scheme-specific part"

fragment - the fragment within that location (e.g. anchor on an HTML page, as following after a "#" separator)

Throws:

Method Detail

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

This implementation opens an InputStream for the given URL. It sets the "UseCaches" flag to false, mainly to avoid jar file locking on Windows.

Returns:

the input stream for the underlying resource (must not be null)

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the stream could not be opened

See Also:

URL.openConnection(), URLConnection.setUseCaches(boolean), URLConnection.getInputStream()

getURL

public java.net.URL getURL()
                    throws java.io.IOException

This implementation returns the underlying URL reference.

Specified by:

getURL in interface Resource

Overrides:

getURL in class AbstractResource

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URL, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor

getURI

public java.net.URI getURI()
                    throws java.io.IOException

This implementation returns the underlying URI directly, if possible.

Specified by:

getURI in interface Resource

Overrides:

getURI in class AbstractResource

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URI, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor

getFile

public java.io.File getFile()
                     throws java.io.IOException

This implementation returns a File reference for the underlying URL/URI, provided that it refers to a file in the file system.

Specified by:

getFile in interface Resource

Overrides:

getFile in class AbstractFileResolvingResource

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as absolute file path, i.e. if the resource is not available in a file system

See Also:

ResourceUtils.getFile(java.net.URL, String)

createRelative

public Resource createRelative(java.lang.String relativePath)
                        throws java.net.MalformedURLException

This implementation creates a UrlResource, applying the given path relative to the path of the underlying URL of this resource descriptor.

Specified by:

createRelative in interface Resource

Overrides:

createRelative in class AbstractResource

Parameters:

relativePath - the relative path (relative to this resource)

Returns:

the resource handle for the relative resource

Throws:

java.net.MalformedURLException
