Hi,
I started to implement a file permission (or more generally a file properties)
framework for VFS. I attached a patch to VFS-405 issue (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-405 ) since it matches the bug
description.
The patch 0001 adds basic permission support in the form of a FileProperties
(more general) object that can be accessed through getFileProperties in
FileObject. In the patch, there are four types of properties:
• FileProperties: the abstract base class
• AbstractPermission: the abstract base class for permission properties
• JavaPermissions: java like file permissions
• PosixPermissions: POSIX (user/group/others) permissions
The patch provides initial support for sftp and local filesystem.
In the longer term, it would make some methods (isHidden, etc.) deprecated
since the functionality would be duplicated.
Please comment on this before I put more efforts in this patch.
