Greetings, Thanks for your quick reply! Yes, you are correct. I
would like to have a way to change the provider, I would subclass the
implementation that you have and use that as content and contentInfo provider.
Otherwise, if its not the case, currently i need to reimplement everything,
right?
Best regards,Carl

for an existing filesystem?
Hi Carl,
Do you mean org.apache.commons.vfs2.impl.DefaultFileContentInfo
and org.apache.commons.vfs2.impl.FileContentInfo?
Ralph, do have issue as to make this pluggable?
