gri.tasks.remote.files.TransferableFile

An interface for generic file objects that leaves the underlying implementation of the file, specifically its storage and its retrieval, to the designer. TransferableFile's are expected to be serializable (unlike java.io.File objects) so that they can be sent between applications. The file is then expected to provide simply a name and a means of opening an InputStream for the file. A simple copyTo(File) method also exists as a convenience method and to allow faster implementations of this common method when possible. To further prevent unncessesary resource use, files that exist on the local file system and are accessible to the application are expected to return true for the "exists()" method. Another method, getLocalFile() then allows one to obtain the java.io.File object for the file if it exists.

  LocalFile tFile = (file == null) ?
    null : new LocalFile(file);
  serializer.write(tFile, elem);
    }
    public File readFile(Element elem) throws IOException {
  TransferableFile tFile = (TransferableFile)serializer.read(elem);
  if (tFile == null)
      return null;
  
  if (tFile.isLocalFile())
      return tFile.getLocalFile();
  
  try {
      return (File)saveFileConverter.convert(tFile);
  }
  catch(ConversionException e) {
