Hi! Not every FileObject can be represented as a local file, and thus getLocalFile ist protected.
What you can do is to replicate the file: File file = fileObject.getFileSystem().replicateFile(fileObject, Selectors.SELECT_SELF); For the local filesystem this simply exposes the local file object (no real replication takes place). For any other file object, e.g. a reference to a file within a zip file real replication takes place and the file will be copied to a temporary place.

Is there any reason LocalFile#getLocalFile() is protected rather then public? Since the process to reconstruct a File object is kinda clunky, it would be nice to just have access directly to the file object. ryan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@commons.apache.org org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@commons.apache.org
