Method names of FileObject#getFullName() and FileObject#getShorName does not
use standard nomenclature
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FTPSERVER-182
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FTPSERVER-182
Project: FtpServer
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Andrea Francia
I don't know that this issue could be solved, due the fact that is part of the
API and there is some people already using the library.
/**
* Get the fully qualified name.
*/
String getFullName();
/**
* Get the file short name.
*/
String getShortName();
The terms "full name" or "short name" are not used in none standard library
that I know.
For the former the terms used are "path", "absolute path", "full path"
See
- http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html#getAbsolutePath()
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathname
For the latter the used are "basename" or "name". The term shorname recall the
short name of the vfat file system.
Usually "fully qualified names" terminology is not used in about file paths.
I propose:
/**
* Get the full path from the base directory of the FileSystemView.
* @return a path where the path separator is '/' (even if O.S. uses
another character as path separator).
*/
String getFullPath();
/**
* Get the file name (basename) of the file
* @return the last part of the file path (the part after the last '/').
*/
String getName();
