Interface FileSystemManager
- All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultFileSystemManager
,StandardFileSystemManager
FileObject
by name from one of those file systems.
To locate a FileObject
, use one of the resolveFile()
methods.
File Naming
A file system manager can recognise several types of file names:
Absolute URI. These must start with a scheme, such as
file:
orftp:
, followed by a scheme dependent file name. Some examples:file:/c:/somefile ftp://somewhere.org/somefile
Absolute local file name. For example,
/home/someuser/a-file
orc:\dir\somefile.html
. Elements in the name can be separated using any of the following characters:/
,\
, or the native file separator character. For example, the following file names are the same:c:\somedir\somefile.xml c:/somedir/somefile.xml
Relative path. For example:
../somefile
orsomedir/file.txt
. The file system manager resolves relative paths against its base file. Elements in the relative path can be separated using/
,\
, or file system specific separator characters. Relative paths may also contain..
and.
elements. SeeFileObject.resolveFile(java.lang.String, org.apache.commons.vfs.NameScope)
for more details.

Method Details
-
getBaseFile
Returns the base file used to resolve relative paths.- Throws:
FileSystemException
-
resolveFile
Locates a file by name. Equivalent to callingresolveFile(uri, getBaseName())
.- Parameters:
name
- The name of the file.- Returns:
- The file. Never returns null.
- Throws:
FileSystemException
- On error parsing the file name.
-
resolveFile
Locates a file by name. Equivalent to callingresolveFile(uri, getBaseName())
.- Parameters:
name
- The name of the file.fileSystemOptions
- The FileSystemOptions used for FileSystem creation- Returns:
- The file. Never returns null.
- Throws:
FileSystemException
- On error parsing the file name.
-
resolveFile
Locates a file by name. The name is resolved as described above. That is, the name can be either an absolute URI, an absolute file name, or a relative path to be resolved againstbaseFile
.Note that the file does not have to exist when this method is called.
- Parameters:
baseFile
- The base file to use to resolve relative paths. May be null.name
- The name of the file.- Returns:
- The file. Never returns null.
- Throws:
FileSystemException
- On error parsing the file name.
-
resolveFile
Locates a file by name. SeeresolveFile(FileObject, String)
for details.- Parameters:
baseFile
- The base file to use to resolve relative paths. May be null.name
- The name of the file.- Returns:
- The file. Never returns null.
- Throws:
FileSystemException
- On error parsing the file name.
-
resolveName
Resolves a name, relative to this file name. Equivalent to callingresolveName( path, NameScope.FILE_SYSTEM )
.- Parameters:
root
- the base filenamename
- The name to resolve.- Returns:
- A
FileName
object representing the resolved file name. - Throws:
FileSystemException
- If the name is invalid.
-
resolveName
Resolves a name, relative to the "root" file name. Refer toNameScope
for a description of how names are resolved.- Parameters:
root
- the base filenamename
- The name to resolve.scope
- TheNameScope
to use when resolving the name.- Returns:
- A
FileName
object representing the resolved file name. - Throws:
FileSystemException
- If the name is invalid.
-
toFileObject
Converts a local file into aFileObject
.- Parameters:
file
- The file to convert.- Returns:
- The
FileObject
that represents the local file. Never returns null. - Throws:
FileSystemException
- On error converting the file.
-
createFileSystem
Creates a layered file system. A layered file system is a file system that is created from the contents of a file, such as a zip or tar file.- Parameters:
provider
- The name of the file system provider to use. This name is the same as the scheme used in URI to identify the provider.file
- The file to use to create the file system.- Returns:
- The root file of the new file system.
- Throws:
FileSystemException
- On error creating the file system.
-
closeFileSystem
Closes the given filesystem.
If you use VFS as singleton it is VERY dangerous to call this method. -

FileSystemException
-
