Hi Colin!
Really ? As I see it, currently I have to do:
FileSystemManager fsManager = VFS.getManager();
FileObject jarFile = fsManager.resolveFile( "jar:lib/aJarFile.jar" );
URL url = jarFile.getURL();
FileObject jarFile = (FileObject) new URL("jar:lib/aJarFile.jar").getContent();
Why should the content of the given URL be a FileObject?
through use of java.protocol.handler.pkgs
I dont think thats currently supported?
No, thats not supported. You are right.
What is supported is to turn any FileObject into an URL to be able to
pass it to another non VFS aware application. Its also possible to
resolve other files using the given URL as base.
What you can try to do is to add a handler for a scheme "vfs:" so you
can do something like this:
URL url = new URL("vfs:jar:lib/aJarFile.jar")
url.getContent() should retrieve the content, if you really would like
to get access to the FileObject you can try to implement the "hack"
url.getContent(new Class[]{FileObject.class})
The classes to bind URLs with VFS are already available. See
org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.DefaultURL*
Ciao,
Mario
