[jira] Closed: (MCLEAN-4) does not handle symbolic links correctly

["John Casey (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-4?page=all ]
     
John Casey closed MCLEAN-4:
---------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

added "followSymLinks" flag. Also added detection of symbolic links, and behavior which will either traverse the symlink while deleting, or else simply delete the link, depending on the value of the followSymLinks flag. The default value is *false*.

> inside removeDir(..), each file needs to be checked to see if it's a symbolic link. If so, the link should be deleted, not the referenced location. I *think* we can address this by adding a check similar to:
> if ( !f.getCanonicalPath().startsWith( d.getCanonicalPath() ) )
> {
>   // don't process as a subdir, just erase the file. WILL THIS WORK?
> }
