VFS3 and symlinks

reply from Ales Justin in JBoss Microcontainer Development - View the full discussion

I just noticed that I did not install jboss-vfs.jar in version 2.2.0.GA but instead I've installed version 2.2.0.M4 from the official Maven repository (http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/org/jboss/jboss-vfs/2.2.0.M4/). Then I found out that version 2.2.0.GA can be found at http://repository.jboss.org/maven2-brew/org/jboss/jboss-vfs/2.2.0.GA/ (I hope this is the correct location). Just wondering why it's not in the official maven2 location.

This is the old JBoss mvn repo.

That version is in new Nexus repo:

Reading this thread it looks to me that some people seem to be concerned about possible performance drop when using/enforcing canonical names. Is this likely to be a real issue or just a small impact?

It's an additional step in path lookup, which you always have to do -- force the path to its canonical version.

Dunno how fast this op is in underlying OS.

Personally I think it will not be a big issue at runtime. Maybe a small impact during startup and deployment when canonical paths of the files need to be looked up. But after deployment there should not be much canonical path lookups required.

Exactly. ;-)

Or are there any benchmarks done with or without this option being enabled?

I would be great if you could post some stuff, as it seems you're on top of it. :-)
