I really don't understand much of the heat in this discussion because I'm not so into it, but I'm happy you guys are and are making progress :-)
Thanks. Actually, the discussions is about many points, one after the other ;-)
I just wanted to ask for a second (please excluse my ignorance), if this means that a Generator can query a source if a certain "file" in the same dir exists.
The reason (Forrest need): on the filesystem I have
mydir/myfile.pdf
mydir/thefile.xml
mydir/mydile.xml
If I get a request for "mydir/myfile", I would like to get a Source for ""mydir/" and ask what "files" it contains that have "myfile" as a name.
Thats it. We're discussing about the definition of a Source that can give you its parent ("mydir/") and its children.
Basically it could make us do a more generic version of ResourceExists.
Do I understand what can be done or am I on track? Sorry if I cannot dwelve further myself into it now, and thanks for the answers :-)
You're totally on track. If you need this action right now, I would suggest to mimic what's in the DirectoryGenerator, that makes the assumption that the Source is a file. You can then use all the facilities given by File.
