http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5035 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-01-07 00:20 ------- DD, isn't it true that the expected use of fileset (henceforth AFS for AbstractFileSet) is to get a DirectoryScanner (DS) on it to scan for files, find included files/dirs and resolve those against the AFS's basedir, either using FileUtils or new File(File, String)? My recommendation on absolute paths (if we can make them work) would have to be that AFS.dir == null, in which case as long as the string filenames returned for the AFS in question contain absolute paths we should be BC according to java.io.File's javadoc. Two things about the implementation in DS: 1, a lot of stuff may have to be scanned, and 2, some extra pattern interpretation code would have to implemented for stuff like Windows UNCs. All in all, it sounds fairly painful but not impossible. Again, realize that I am pushing away from nested filesets on the grounds that allowing absolute paths in a single fileset should ultimately achieve the spirit of the request in a less confusing (IMO) manner than would be brought about by nested filesets (of all things). ;) -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
