FileConfiguration getFile(), getFileName(), getBasePath() are not always
consistent
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IO-114
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-114
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Thomas Wabner
Taken from the maillinglist:
> I have a properties configuration which is loaded without a problem.
> Later in my application I will access the file which is aligned to
> this configuration.
>
>
>
> final IFileConfiguration _productConf =
> _conf.getProductConfigurations().get(_productId);
>
> log.debug("product conf file " + _productConf.getFile());
>
> log.debug("product conf filename " + _productConf.getFileName());
>
> log.debug("product conf base path " + _productConf.getBasePath());
>
>
>
> The methods _productConf.getFile() and _productConf.getFileName()
> returning null but the getBasePath() returns a path which is correct
> (like file:/C:/Projects/workspace/myProject/project.properties). Seems
> for me like a bug because the PropertiesConfiguration is loaded
> correct and works.
>
>
>
> By side: I have also set a file reloading strategy for this
> configuration.
>
>
>
> Any ideas what's happen in this case or where I can find the problem?
> It would be nicer to get the File() instead the BasePath which has to
> be converted into a URL before I can access the whole properties file.
>
>
>
> Thanks in advance,

Thomas,
you are right, the conversions between a base path, a file name, and a File are
not always consistent. How did you load the configuration (this determines,
which internal fields are set)?
I would recommend to work with URLs, i.e. the method getURL(). A file-based
configuration's URL is always defined.
If you like, you can open a Jira ticket for this problem.
Thanks.
Oliver
The file is loaded in this way:
_productConf = new ProductConfiguration();
_productConf.load(FileTools.getPathForList(_propductPathList).getPath());
means the load method gets an String and not an File.
