Class FileSystemConnector

java.lang.Object
  org.modeshape.jcr.federation.spi.Connector
      org.modeshape.connector.filesystem.FileSystemConnector

public class FileSystemConnector
extends Connector

Connector implementation that exposes a single directory on the local file system. This connector has several properties that must be configured via the RepositoryConfiguration:

• directoryPath - The path to the file or folder that is to be accessed by this connector.
• readOnly - A boolean flag that specifies whether this source can create/modify/remove files and directories on the file system to reflect changes in the JCR content. By default, sources are not read-only.
• addMimeTypeMixin - A boolean flag that specifies whether this connector should add the 'mix:mimeType' mixin to the 'nt:resource' nodes to include the 'jcr:mimeType' property. If set to true, the MIME type is computed immediately when the 'nt:resource' node is accessed, which might be expensive for larger files. This is false by default.
• extraPropertyStorage - An optional string flag that specifies how this source handles "extra" properties that are not stored via file system attributes. See extraPropertiesStorage for details. By default, extra properties are stored in the same Infinispan cache that the repository uses.
• exclusionPattern - Optional property that specifies a regular expression that is used to determine which files and folders in the underlying file system are not exposed through this connector. Files and folders with a name that matches the provided regular expression will not be exposed by this source.
• inclusionPattern - Optional property that specifies a regular expression that is used to determine which files and folders in the underlying file system are exposed through this connector. Files and folders with a name that matches the provided regular expression will be exposed by this source.

Inclusion and exclusion patterns can be used separately or in combination. For example, consider these cases:

Inclusion Pattern	Exclusion Pattern	Examples
(.+)\\.txt$		Includes only files and directories whose names end in ".txt" (e.g., "something.txt" ), but does not include files and other folders such as "something.jar" or "something.txt.zip".
(.+)\\.txt$	my.txt	Includes only files and directories whose names end in ".txt" (e.g., "something.txt" ) with the exception of "my.txt", and does not include files and other folders such as "something.jar" or " something.txt.zip".
my.txt	.+	Excludes all files and directories except any named "my.txt".

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(NamespaceRegistry registry,
                       NodeTypeManager nodeTypeManager)
                throws RepositoryException,
                       IOException

Description copied from class: Connector

Initialize the connector. This is called automatically by ModeShape once for each Connector instance, and should not be called by the connector. By the time this method is called, ModeShape will hav already set the Connector.context, Connector.logger, Connector.name, and Connector.repositoryName plus any fields that match configuration properties for the connector.

By default this method does nothing, so it should be overridden by implementations to do a one-time initialization of any internal components. For example, connectors can use the supplied registry and nodeTypeManager objects to register custom namesapces and node types required by the external content.

This is an excellent place for connector to validate the connector-specific fields set by ModeShape via reflection during instantiation.

Overrides:

initialize in class Connector

Parameters:

registry - the namespace registry that can be used to register custom namespaces; never null

nodeTypeManager - the node type manager that can be used to register custom node types; never null

Throws:

RepositoryException - if operations on the NamespaceRegistry or NodeTypeManager fail

IOException - if any stream based operations fail (like importing cnd files)

isContentNode

protected boolean isContentNode(String id)

Utility method for determining if the supplied identifier is for the "jcr:content" child node of a file. * Subclasses may override this method to change the format of the identifiers, but in that case should also override the fileFor(String), isRoot(String), and idFor(File) methods.

Parameters:

id - the identifier; may not be null

Returns:

true if the identifier signals the "jcr:content" child node of a file, or false otherwise

See Also:

isRoot(String), fileFor(String), idFor(File)

fileFor

protected File fileFor(String id)

Utility method for obtaining the File object that corresponds to the supplied identifier. Subclasses may override this method to change the format of the identifiers, but in that case should also override the isRoot(String), isContentNode(String), and idFor(File) methods.

Parameters:

id - the identifier; may not be null

Returns:

the File object for the given identifier

See Also:

isRoot(String), isContentNode(String), idFor(File)

isRoot

protected boolean isRoot(String id)

Utility method for determining if the node identifier is the identifier of the root node in this external source. Subclasses may override this method to change the format of the identifiers, but in that case should also override the fileFor(String), isContentNode(String), and idFor(File) methods.

Parameters:

id - the identifier; may not be null

Returns:

true if the identifier is for the root of this source, or false otherwise

See Also:

isContentNode(String), fileFor(String), idFor(File)

idFor

protected String idFor(File file)

Utility method for determining the node identifier for the supplied file. Subclasses may override this method to change the format of the identifiers, but in that case should also override the fileFor(String), isContentNode(String), and isRoot(String) methods.

Parameters:

file - the file; may not be null

Returns:

the node identifier; never null

See Also:

isRoot(String), isContentNode(String), fileFor(String)

binaryFor

protected BinaryValue binaryFor(File file)

Utility method for creating a BinaryValue for the given File object. Subclasses should rarely override this method.

Parameters:

file - the file; may not be null

Returns:

the BinaryValue; never null

createBinaryValue

protected BinaryValue createBinaryValue(BinaryKey key,
                                        File file)
                                 throws IOException

Utility method to create a BinaryValue object for the given file. Subclasses should rarely override this method, since the UrlBinaryValue will be applicable in most situations.

Parameters:

key - the binary key; never null

file - the file for which the BinaryValue is to be created; never null

Returns:

the binary value; never null

Throws:

IOException - if there is an error creating the value

createUrlForFile

protected URL createUrlForFile(File file)
                        throws IOException

Construct a URL object for the given file, to be used within the Binary value representing the "jcr:data" property of a 'nt:resource' node.

Subclasses can override this method to transform the URL into something different. For example, if the files are being served by a web server, the overridden method might transform the file-based URL into the corresponding HTTP-based URL.

Parameters:

file - the file for which the URL is to be created; never null

Returns:

the URL for the file; never null

Throws:

IOException - if there is an error creating the URL

isExcluded

protected boolean isExcluded(File file)

Utility method to determine if the file is excluded by the inclusion/exclusion filter.

Parameters:

file - the file

Returns:

true if the file is excluded, or false if it is to be included

checkWritable

protected void checkWritable(String id,
                             File file)
