Implementing a FileSystemProvider

[Christian Schlichtherle]

Hi Alan,

 

now that I've released TrueZIP 7.1 (http://truezip.java.net), I have finally
some time to look into the FileSystemProvider implementation.

 

I wonder if it's OK for a java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider
implementation to use the java.io.File* classes or if this might create a
recursion? If not OK, which conditions could lead to a recursion then?

 

I recall from our conversations some time ago that federation is not
supported in JSE 7. I take from this that File* classes never look up a
FileSystemProvider and therefore it should be safe to use File* in a
FileSystemProvider implementation. Is this correct?

 

Regards,

Christian
