Constructor Detail

FilePlexusResource

public FilePlexusResource(java.io.File file)

Method Detail

getFile

public java.io.File getFile()

Description copied from interface: PlexusResource

Returns the resource as a file, if possible. A resource doesn't need to be available as a file: If you require a file, use ResourceManager.getResourceAsFile(PlexusResource).

Specified by:

getFile in interface PlexusResource

Returns:

A File containing the resources contents, if available, or null.

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: PlexusResource

Returns the resource as an InputStream. In general, you should not assume, that this method may me called more than once. In typical cases (for example, if the Resource is backed by a file or loaded through the classpath), one may create an InputStream as often as is necessary. However, you should think of cases like an URL pointing to a servlet, where the resource contents change with every call.

If you need a reliable way of reloading the resource more than once, then you should use ResourceManager.getResourceAsFile(PlexusResource).

Specified by:

getInputStream in interface PlexusResource

Returns:

An InputStream with the resources contents, never null.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Description copied from interface: PlexusResource

Returns the resources name, if possible. A resources name is a relatively unspecified thing. For example, if the resource has an URL, the name might be created by invoking URL.toExternalForm(). In the case of a File, it might be File.getPath().

Specified by:

getName in interface PlexusResource

getURI

public java.net.URI getURI()

Description copied from interface: PlexusResource

Returns the resources URI, if possible. A resource doesn't need to have an URI.

Specified by:

getURI in interface PlexusResource

Returns:

The resources URI, if available, or null.

getURL

public java.net.URL getURL()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: PlexusResource

Returns the resources URL, if possible. A resource doesn't need to have an URL.

Specified by:

getURL in interface PlexusResource

Returns:

The resources URL, if available, or null.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
