Hi!
Is there any Java based solution for mounting any file resourse (cifs,
zip, etc.) to a drive on Windows and to any where in UNIX?
Not that I know one. The question here is if there is a virtual
filesystem (e.g. zip, ftp, ...) which is able to handle it.
Is there any Java and Commons
VFS based solution for mounting Commons VFS resource to the native file
system? If this could be done than all the applications using Commons VFS
directly benefit from native file system integration.
You mean something like mounting "ftp://host"; to drive letter "f:" or to
unix partition "/mnt/ftpconn"?
For Linux there is LUFS http://lufs.sourceforge.net/lufs/fs.html - looks
not very active, but the approach is the same.
Someone needs to write a vritual filesystem driver for windows and one
for e.g. linux which dispatches access to a configured directory to a
running commons-vfs daemon.
While this sounds cool, it is way too much work to do - at least for me.
And there are for sure better ways to handle it, e.g. LUFS allows to use
Gnome-VFS - so virtually every gnome filesystem implmementation is
available to mount - ok, this is what the documentation says, never
tried it.
