[jira] Commented: (LANG-417) ClassUtils: method for turning FQN into resource path

["Robert Scholte (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-417?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12588774#action_12588774 ] 

Robert Scholte commented on LANG-417:
-------------------------------------

I've got some new thoughts:
@Matt: java.lang.Package seems to be the right class, indeed. So I think we should use it.

We've defined three different types of resources, but only one of them actually involves the Package.
It would make more sense to use some sort of ResourceUtil.
{code}
public String toResourcePath(String fqName)
public String toResourcePath(Package context, String fqName) //you could use aClass.getPackage()
public String toResourcePath(Class context, String fqName)
{code}
Personally I hate Strings as a result, because it can be anything. But it's probably the best solution here.
I don't think URL is a good solution: it's not part of java.lang or java.util, but java.net so I don't think it should be part of commons-lang.

> I commonly need a FQ path to a resource within the same location as a class file. I recommend the addition of this method:
> public String getPackageResourcePath(Class clazz, String resourceName)
>     StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
>     buf.append(ClassUtils.getPackageName(getClass()).replace('.', '/'));
>     buf.append("/");
>     buf.append(resourceName);
>     return  buf.toString();
> }
