Class AbstractFileResolvingResource

java.lang.Object
  org.codehaus.groovy.grails.io.support.AbstractFileResolvingResource

All Implemented Interfaces:

Resource

Direct Known Subclasses:

ClassPathResource, UrlResource

public abstract class AbstractFileResolvingResource
extends java.lang.Object
implements Resource

Abstract base class for resources which resolve URLs into File references, such as org.springframework.core.io.UrlResource or org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource.

Detects the "file" protocol as well as the JBoss "vfs" protocol in URLs, resolving file system references accordingly.

Since:

3.0

long	contentLength() Determine the content length for this resource.
boolean	exists() Return whether this resource actually exists in physical form.
java.io.File	getFile() This implementation returns a File reference for the underlying class path resource, provided that it refers to a file in the file system.
protected java.io.File	getFile(java.net.URI uri) This implementation returns a File reference for the underlying class path resource, provided that it refers to a file in the file system.
protected java.io.File	getFileForLastModifiedCheck() This implementation determines the underlying File (or jar file, in case of a resource in a jar/zip).

Constructor Detail

AbstractFileResolvingResource

public AbstractFileResolvingResource()

Method Detail

getFile

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

This implementation returns a File reference for the underlying class path resource, provided that it refers to a file in the file system.

Specified by:

getFile in interface Resource

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

getFileForLastModifiedCheck

protected java.io.File getFileForLastModifiedCheck()
                                            throws java.io.IOException

This implementation determines the underlying File (or jar file, in case of a resource in a jar/zip).

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getFile

protected java.io.File getFile(java.net.URI uri)
                        throws java.io.IOException

This implementation returns a File reference for the underlying class path resource, provided that it refers to a file in the file system.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

exists

public boolean exists()

Description copied from interface: Resource

Return whether this resource actually exists in physical form.

This method performs a definitive existence check, whereas the existence of a Resource handle only guarantees a valid descriptor handle.

Specified by:

exists in interface Resource

isReadable

public boolean isReadable()

Description copied from interface: Resource

Return whether the contents of this resource can be read, e.g. via Resource.getInputStream() or Resource.getFile().

Will be true for typical resource descriptors; note that actual content reading may still fail when attempted. However, a value of false is a definitive indication that the resource content cannot be read.

Specified by:

isReadable in interface Resource

See Also:

Resource.getInputStream()

contentLength

public long contentLength()
                   throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: Resource

Determine the content length for this resource.

Specified by:

contentLength in interface Resource

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved (in the file system or as some other known physical resource type)

lastModified

public long lastModified()
                  throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: Resource

Determine the last-modified timestamp for this resource.

Specified by:

lastModified in interface Resource

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved (in the file system or as some other known physical resource type)
