Class DefaultAttributes

java.lang.Object
  org.openide.filesystems.DefaultAttributes

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, AbstractFileSystem.Attr, AbstractFileSystem.List

public class DefaultAttributes
extends Object
implements AbstractFileSystem.Attr, AbstractFileSystem.List
extends Object
implements AbstractFileSystem.Attr, AbstractFileSystem.List

Implementation of AbstractFileSystem.Attr using a special file in each folder for holding attributes. It needs to hide the file from the rest of system, so it also implements AbstractFileSystem.List to exclude the file from the children list (it can then serve to filter a plain list implementation). Description of format of special file ilustrates best DTD file that is showed in next lines:

Method Detail

children

public String[] children(String f)

Get the children list, filtering out the special attributes file. You must have provided a non-null AbstractFileSystem.List in the constructor for this to work. If you did not, the rest of the class will work fine, but this method should not be called and this object should not be used as a List implementation.

Specified by:: children in interface AbstractFileSystem.List

Parameters:: f - the folder, by name; e.g. top/next/afterthat
Returns:: a list of children of the folder, as file.ext (no path)
