Re: [udig-devel] file:// hack in ProjectRegistryImpl
|
URLs are a nightmare. There is now a URLUtils class that attempts to
make dealing with File URLs work more reliably (although it is not
foolproof either and I welcome patches to it). ProjectRegistryImpl
obviously was written long before that class came to exist.

Hello,
I came across this hack in ProjectRegistryImpl:
public Project getProject(String projectPath) {
// HACK
if (!projectPath.startsWith("file://")) { //$NON-NLS-1$
projectPath = "file://" + projectPath; //$NON-NLS-1$
}
// DONE HACK
final String path = projectPath + File.separatorChar +
"project.uprj"; //$NON-NLS-1$
final URI uri = URI.createURI(path);
Project project = getProject(uri);
return project;
}
I passed a
String projectPath= "F:/workspace/uDig_configuration/myproj.udig";
and it didn't work. Apparently the path needs to be
projectPath= "/F:/workspace/uDig_configuration/myproj.udig";
Then the URL reads
file:///F:/workspace/uDig_configuration/myproj.udig";
and it works. (Notice that no-one in a Windows environment writes a
path like "/c:/mydir/myfile.txt".)
So the fix is to add another "/" to
projectPath = "file://" + projectPath; //$NON-NLS-1$
at least for the time being. Also notice that writing a path like
file://///////c:/tmp/my.file
also works! This is crazy, but I've seen so many of those
if (!projectPath.startsWith("file://"))
that I don't get surprised anymore.
Cheers,
Ugo
