http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36158 Summary: [VFS] classpath: provider, similar to res:, but across the entire classpath Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: VFS AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] See the following thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg12233.html Seems like this would require (as Mario called it) a CompositeFileObject (cfo) to represent multiple instances of the same package on the classpath and return all resources for each of those distinct locations as if they were one. So, for the package com.mycompany.myapp existing in both a jar file in, say WEB-INF/lib and also in WEB-INF/classes, cfo.getChildren() would return resources from both locations as if they were children of a single FileObject of type directory. > But there are a couple of problems, e.g. what if a entry is a file in one jar > and a directory in another? What should the CompositeFileObject say when using > getType() then? I find that to be an unlikely circumstance. However, in that case we can either throw an exception or treat it as a directory if at least one of the resources is a directory and return any that aren't directories in the getChildren(). Probably still ambiguities with that, but I think it should be a solveable problem. I'm not really sure how to hook in this CompositeFileObject into VFS? I'd like to implement this, but will need some hints to get started.
