[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Issue Comment Edited: (JBVFS-147) Cannot read from vfs: protocol URL

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBVFS-147?page=com.atlassian.jira.plug... ] John Bailey edited comment on JBVFS-147 at 3/9/10 9:45 AM: ----------------------------------------------------------- As mentioned in JBVFS-142, this will not work for a mounted JAR. Once a JAR is mounted into VFS, it becomes a directory in VFS. So you will not be able to read it as a conventional InputStream. You will actually be getting a VirtualJarInputStream, which functions as a JarInputStream, so you would need to cast the input stream call getNextEntry for each entry. For the code you have written in the description, you could make it work by just using a file: URL in place of the vfs: ULR (with the VFS trunk). This will delegate to the real filesytem, and you should be able to read the JAR in as a standard file. was (Author: johnbailey): As mentioned in JBVFS-142, this will not work for a mounted JAR.
