[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBVFS-162) FileSystem.getSize() should support 'unknown' length

FileSystem.getSize() should support 'unknown' length ---------------------------------------------------- Key: JBVFS-162 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBVFS-162 Project: JBoss VFS Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Reporter: Aslak Knutsen Assignee: John Bailey When working with a Stream based FileSystem the size of the Stream could be unknown until streamed. FileSystem.getSize() forces writing the data to local disk to figure out the size (or stream it to '/dev/null' ). FileSystem.getSize() supports a return type of '0L' to indicate a 'directory'. In the same fashion, it could match up with e.g. URLConnection.getContentLength() and support '-1L' to indicate a 'unknown size'. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
