Provide way to retrieve VirtualFile instance from url.openConnection() ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-11567 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-11567 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Enhancement Components: VFS Reporter: Tomas Hofman Assignee: Tomas Hofman Priority: Major Fix For: 19.0.0.Beta1 It is not possible to obtain VirtualFile (and by extensions it's physicalFile) instance wrapped in VirtualFileURLConnection without using reflection. Code snippet from Drools [1], where they try to get hold of {{VirtualFile#getPhysicalFile()}}: {code} private static Object findVirtualFile( URL url ) throws IOException { URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection(); try { if ( urlConnection.getClass().getName().equals( "org.jboss.vfs.protocol.VirtualFileURLConnection" ) ) { Field f = urlConnection.getClass().getDeclaredField( "file" ); f.setAccessible( true ); return f.get( urlConnection ); } } catch (NoSuchFieldException | IllegalAccessException e) { // ignored } return urlConnection.getContent(); } {code} [1] https://github.com/kiegroup/drools/commit/2a36f67a29ed06d0f980a60ff1c81fa...
