Sebb reopened VFS-337: ---------------------- Sorry, don't know what happened there - you're right, wrong class. Reopening with new details > AbstractFileName ctor accepts FileName as a parameter, but actually requires > AbstractFileName > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: VFS-337 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-337 > Project: Commons VFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.0 > Reporter: Sebb > > The AbstractFileName constructor accepts FileName as a parameter, but > actually requires an AbstractFileName. > Anything else will generate a ClassCastException. > The reason for the cast is to allow access to the package-protected method > void AbstractFileName#setType(FileType type) > Many of the AbstractFileName methods rely on being able to invoke the setType > method, so perhaps the parameter should be changed accordingly? > This will change the API and require changes to subclasses. > I'll add Javadoc to document the restriction. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
