Question

Does Apache VFS provides a pluggable mechanism to add support for a custom file system not provided by default?

Is there any example how to do that?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Yes, Apache VFS does provide a facility for implementing your own file system providers. In short, you need to implement your own version of the FileObject, FileSystem, and FileProvider interfaces.

You can find a good example at the following URL.

Apache also provides a good number of implementations out of the box, so check the source as well.
