Nikhil Shinde updated IO-540:
-----------------------------
Summary: Ambiguous parameter in AbtractFileFilter.accept(File,String).
(was: Ambiguous parameter in AbtractFileFilter.accept(File,String). Change the
parameter passed in AbstractFileFilter.accept(File,String), even if that
implementation is not used at runtime )
> Ambiguous parameter in AbtractFileFilter.accept(File,String).

> Key: IO-540
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-540
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Filters
> Reporter: Nikhil Shinde
> Priority: Minor
>
> Although we are required to override the AbstractFilteFilter.accept() method
> to avoid Infinite loop, the arguments in current implementation seems
> ambiguous. File.getParentFile() is passed as argument to
> FilenameFilter.accept(File,String) overridden method. File.getParentFile()
> returns null if parent dir is not known(occurs mostly when using relative
> path). Java doc for FilenameFilter.accept() does not mention of allowing null
> value for File parameter. It would be better to make change in other
> arguments passed in accept(File,String).
> No exception occurs at runtime, as overridden method is to be used to avoid
> Infinite looping.
