Constructor Detail

FileSystemResource

public FileSystemResource(File file)
Create a new FileSystemResource from a File handle.

Note: When building relative resources via createRelative(java.lang.String), the relative path will apply at the same directory level: e.g. new File("C:/dir1"), relative path "dir2" -> "C:/dir2"! If you prefer to have relative paths built underneath the given root directory, use the constructor with a file path to append a trailing slash to the root path: "C:/dir1/", which indicates this directory as root for all relative paths.

Parameters:
file - a File handle

FileSystemResource

public FileSystemResource(String path)
Create a new FileSystemResource from a file path.

Note: When building relative resources via createRelative(java.lang.String), it makes a difference whether the specified resource base path here ends with a slash or not. In the case of "C:/dir1/", relative paths will be built underneath that root: e.g. relative path "dir2" -> "C:/dir1/dir2". In the case of "C:/dir1", relative paths will apply at the same directory level: relative path "dir2" -> "C:/dir2".

Parameters:
path - a file path
Method Detail

getPath

public final String getPath()
Return the file path for this resource.


exists

public boolean exists()
This implementation returns whether the underlying file exists.

Specified by:
exists in interface Resource
Overrides:
exists in class AbstractResource
See Also:
File.exists()

isReadable

public boolean isReadable()
This implementation checks whether the underlying file is marked as readable (and corresponds to an actual file with content, not to a directory).

Specified by:
isReadable in interface Resource
Overrides:
isReadable in class AbstractResource
See Also:
File.canRead(), File.isDirectory()

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()
                           throws IOException
This implementation opens a FileInputStream for the underlying file.

Specified by:
getInputStream in interface InputStreamSource
Returns:
the input stream for the underlying resource (must not be null)
Throws:
IOException - if the stream could not be opened
See Also:
FileInputStream

getURL

public URL getURL()
           throws IOException
This implementation returns a URL for the underlying file.

Specified by:
getURL in interface Resource
Overrides:
getURL in class AbstractResource
Throws:
IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URL, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor
See Also:
File.toURI()

getURI

public URI getURI()
           throws IOException
This implementation returns a URI for the underlying file.

Specified by:
getURI in interface Resource
Overrides:
getURI in class AbstractResource
Throws:
IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URI, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor
See Also:
File.toURI()

getFile

public File getFile()
This implementation returns the underlying File reference.

Specified by:
getFile in interface Resource
Overrides:
getFile in class AbstractResource

contentLength

public long contentLength()
                   throws IOException
This implementation returns the underlying File's length.

Specified by:
contentLength in interface Resource
Overrides:
contentLength in class AbstractResource
Throws:
IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved (in the file system or as some other known physical resource type)
See Also:
InputStreamSource.getInputStream()

createRelative

public Resource createRelative(String relativePath)
This implementation creates a FileSystemResource, applying the given path relative to the path of the underlying file 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
See Also:
StringUtils.applyRelativePath(String, String)

getFilename

public String getFilename()
This implementation returns the name of the file.

Specified by:
getFilename in interface Resource
Overrides:
getFilename in class AbstractResource
See Also:
File.getName()

getDescription

public String getDescription()
This implementation returns a description that includes the absolute path of the file.

Specified by:
getDescription in interface Resource
See Also:
File.getAbsolutePath()

isWritable

public boolean isWritable()
This implementation checks whether the underlying file is marked as writable (and corresponds to an actual file with content, not to a directory).

Specified by:
isWritable in interface WritableResource
See Also:
File.canWrite(), File.isDirectory()

getOutputStream

public OutputStream getOutputStream()
                             throws IOException
This implementation opens a FileOutputStream for the underlying file.

Specified by:
getOutputStream in interface WritableResource
Throws:
IOException - if the stream could not be opened
See Also:
FileOutputStream

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
This implementation compares the underlying File references.

Overrides:
equals in class AbstractResource
See Also:
Resource.getDescription()

hashCode

public int hashCode()
This implementation returns the hash code of the underlying File reference.

Overrides:
hashCode in class AbstractResource
