Constructor Detail

UrlResource

public UrlResource(URL url)

Create a new UrlResource.

Parameters:

url - a URL

UrlResource

public UrlResource(URI uri)
            throws MalformedURLException

Create a new UrlResource.

Parameters:

uri - a URI

Throws:

MalformedURLException - if the given URL path is not valid

UrlResource

public UrlResource(String path)
            throws MalformedURLException

Create a new UrlResource.

Parameters:

path - a URL path

Throws:

MalformedURLException - if the given URL path is not valid

Method Detail

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()
                           throws IOException

This implementation opens an InputStream for the given URL. It sets the "UseCaches" flag to false, mainly to avoid jar file locking on Windows.

Throws:

IOException - if the stream could not be opened

See Also:

URL.openConnection(), URLConnection.setUseCaches(boolean), URLConnection.getInputStream()

getURL

public URL getURL()
           throws IOException

This implementation returns the underlying URL reference.

Specified by:

getURL in interface Resource

Overrides:

getURL in class AbstractResource

Throws:

IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URL, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor

getURI

public URI getURI()
           throws IOException

This implementation returns the underlying URI directly, if possible.

Specified by:

getURI in interface Resource

Overrides:

getURI in class AbstractResource

Throws:

IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URI, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor

getFile

public File getFile()
             throws IOException

This implementation returns a File reference for the underlying URL/URI, provided that it refers to a file in the file system.

Specified by:

getFile in interface Resource

Overrides:

getFile in class AbstractFileResolvingResource

Throws:

IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as absolute file path, i.e. if the resource is not available in a file system

ResourceUtils.getFile(java.net.URL, String)

createRelative

public Resource createRelative(String relativePath)
                        throws MalformedURLException

This implementation creates a UrlResource, applying the given path relative to the path of the underlying URL of this resource descriptor.

Specified by:

createRelative in interface Resource

Overrides:

createRelative in class AbstractResource

Parameters:

relativePath - the relative path (relative to this resource)

Returns:

the resource handle for the relative resource

Throws:

MalformedURLException

URL.URL(java.net.URL, String)

getFilename

public String getFilename()

This implementation returns the name of the file that this URL refers to.

Specified by:

getFilename in interface Resource

Overrides:

getFilename in class AbstractResource

See Also:

URL.getFile(), File.getName()

getDescription

public String getDescription()

This implementation returns a description that includes the URL.

Object.toString()

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

This implementation compares the underlying URL references.

Overrides:

equals in class AbstractResource

Resource.getDescription()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

This implementation returns the hash code of the underlying URL reference.

Overrides:

hashCode in class AbstractResource
