Re: Getting Folder from path

[Randy Watler]

At the moment, there is no really good, (read clean), way to do this... 
especially if you use the profiler. I will be working on this stuff this 
week if you can use a development CVS copy.

If you are NOT depending on the profiler, you can do the following as a 
workaround:

1. grab the folder or page from the $site variable.
2. use the getParent() method to access the parent folders all the way 
up to '/'.
3. navigate around the hierarchy from there using getFolders() and 
getPages().

Again, this will NOT work well if you are using the profiler to define 
user, role, group, or subsite specific site configurations. It is also 
relative to the current and root site paths, not a full portal request 
path. I am guessing you can work around that as needed to generate 
breadcrumbs, (see the absolute URL generation methods on the $jetspeed 
object).

I am attempting to get support for this kind of site access in place for M2.

Temat: Getting Folder from path
 

Hi all,
I am writing custom layout for my Jetspeed site. To have it fully
work I need one more, little thing -- Is there a way to get Folder
object having only path pointing to it?
Ex. Let's say I have String
"http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal/Public"; and by using some
tricky API function I can get object of Folder bounded to public
folder. Then I can check its name, title etc
Can anyone help me, or at least point where should I look for
   

solution?
 

I am using J2-M1. 

Thank you in advance.
Best wishes.

Yesterday, I found that interface PageManager has getFolders(String)
method which according to javadoc 'Locates a folder for the given
path.'. Yes!, this is what I am looking for. But...
Can anyone suggest me the easiest way to use it. Should I take a
closer look to CastorXmlPageManager which implements PageManager?
I need this functionality to build (full) breadcrumbs for my site,
get folders only from root folder, build navigation from files
located in some directory and so on...
It's getting urgent :(
Thanks for any tips.
Best regards
Tomasz
