hi, i've been looking into this method in order to replace one i had developed myself, but i came accross several issues that prevented me to do so. (please note that i'm using excalibur 4.1 but i checked the CVS repository and this method hasn't changed.)
first, the javadoc is quite vague about what the method is supposed to do. does it support relative path or only absolute ones ? reading the code actually helps but this isn't supposed to be that way. also, i think that it's bugged. here are examples of the problems i ran into : (sourcePath => resultPath) /dir1/dir2/.. => /dir1/dir2/.. (it's the same if you try /dir/dir/. instead) dir1/../dir2 => [ArrayOutOfBoundException] ./dir1/ => ./dir1/ (this one could actually be kept this way intentionaly) obviously, something is wrong. here are the results i get with my implementation : /dir1/dir2/.. => /dir1 dir1/../dir2 => dir2 ./dir1/ => dir1/ the only drawback that i am aware of is that it's slower than the current implem when the path doesn't need to be changed, or when result should be null. otherwise, it's just as fast or faster. so i'm willing to submit my code for review, and (maybe) replacement. what do i do ? post it right here ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
