Field Detail

file

private final java.io.File file

path

private final java.lang.String path

Constructor Detail

FileSystemResource

public FileSystemResource(java.io.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(java.lang.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 java.lang.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 java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.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:

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

See Also:

FileInputStream

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 java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                     throws java.io.IOException

This implementation opens a FileOutputStream for the underlying file.

Specified by:

getOutputStream in interface WritableResource

Throws:

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

See Also:

FileOutputStream

getURL

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

This implementation returns a URL for the underlying file.

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

See Also:

File.toURI()

getURI

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

This implementation returns a URI for the underlying file.

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

See Also:

File.toURI()

getFile

public java.io.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 java.io.IOException

This implementation returns the underlying File's length.

Specified by:

contentLength in interface Resource

Overrides:

contentLength in class AbstractResource

Throws:

java.io.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(java.lang.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:
