Passing references to a custom FileSystemManager

[Joakim Back <jo...@notitium.se>]

Hello again,

I hope I am not abusing the mailing list by this further question;

I have now set up my own flavor of FileSystemManager and FileSystemView. 
The view keeps track of the current path of the user, and passes 
requests regarding FileObjects to an instance of (my own interface) 
FileObjectService.

to clarify, FileObjectService is a new interface containing just part of 
the FileSystemView interface:

public FileObject getRootDirectory() throws FtpException;

public FileObject getFileObject(String path) throws FtpException;

public FileObject[] listFiles(String path) throws FtpException;

public void dispose();


This is to separate the navigation with file handling, and limit the 
bridge to the rest of the application to implementing FileObjectService 
(and FileObject).

However, FileObjectService needs a reference to a service within the 
application. During this mock up, I have created the mock-application in 
the FileSystemManager, and passed it through FileSystemView to the 
FileObjectService.

Instead, I would like to pass a reference to the application-service 
into FileSystemManager upon creating the FTPServer. How would this be 
possible?


Best regards,

Joakim Back

I just noticed IFtpConfig.getFileSystemManager()...

Sorry to have wasted your time!

I've noticed I can create a custom Ftplet and retrieve the 
FileSystemManager from there, and pass it a reference within init() for 
example.

However since both FileSystemManager and my Ftplet is defined in the 
properties file and created by FtpServer, I'm still not sure if I can 
pass a reference from "outside" FtpServer into my FileSystemManager.

I'm beginning to think that what I'm trying to do is perhaps not within 
the most common uses for the FtpServer, and that I might have to enable 
a protocol between the FtpServer and the application.
