Philipp Brügger commented on VFS-255:
-------------------------------------
This feature requires deeper studies of how this can be implemented and offered
via the existing interfaces. I would recommend putting this feature to the
future release and schedule it when the concept is more clear.
> Allow file operations to return a result
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: VFS-255
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-255
> Project: Commons VFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Frank van der Kleij
>
> Currently the file operations can not return any result after being executed.
> A simple interface should allow marking the operations that return something
> without being too strict about what they return.
> I'm working on a command line shell based on VFS that also allows executing
> operations (http://vfs-utils.sourceforge.net/shell). For the moment I found
> nothing better than to check for a method getResult() but it I would prefer
> to just check for the interface.
> The interface could be something like this:
> package org.apache.commons.vfs.operations;
> public interface FileOperationResult {
> public abstract Object getResult();
> }
> For me returning a String would be good enough, but I think returning an
> Object the most appropriate. In the vfs shell I just do a toString() on it.
