Interface Resource

  • All Known Subinterfaces:
    LocalizableResource
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    BasicResource, BuiltFileResource, FileResource, JarResource, LazyResource, SFTPResource, SshResource, URLResource, VsftpResource
    public interface Resource
    Represents a resource in an Ivy Repository. The resource interface allows one to obtain the following information about a resource:
    • resource name/identifier in repository syntax
    • date the resource was last modified.
    • size of the resource in bytes.
    • if the resource is available.

    Implementation Notes

    In implementing the interface you need to ensure the following behaviors:
    • All of the methods specified in the interface fail by returning an empty value (false, 0, ""). In other words, the specified interface methods should not throw RuntimeExceptions.
    • Failure conditions should be logged using the Message.verbose(java.lang.String) method.
    • Failure of one of the interface's specified methods results in all other interface specified methods returning an empty value (false, 0, "").

        long getContentLength()
        Get the resource size
        Returns:
        a long value representing the size of the resource in bytes.

      • exists

        boolean exists()
        Determine if the resource is available. Note that this method only checks for availability, not for actual existence.
        Returns:
        boolean value indicating if the resource is available.

      • isLocal

        boolean isLocal()
        Is this resource local to this host, i.e. is it on the file system?

      • clone

        Resource clone​(java.lang.String cloneName)
        Clones this resource with a new resource with a different name
        Parameters:
        cloneName - the name of the clone
        Returns:
        the cloned resource

      • openStream

        java.io.InputStream openStream()
                        throws java.io.IOException
        Opens a stream on this resource
        Returns:
        the opened input stream
