Field Detail

• out

  protected final PrintStream out

  The print stream for standard output.

• err

  protected final PrintStream err

  The print stream for error output.

• monitor

  protected final Application.ProgressMonitor monitor

  A progress monitor for TFile.umount().

Constructor Detail

• Application

  protected Application()

  Equivalent to Application(System.out, System.err, true).

• Application

  protected Application(OutputStream out,
             OutputStream err,
             boolean autoFlush)

  Constructs a new command line utility instance.

  Note that this constructor has side effects:

  • If Swing based prompting is used, the Hurling Window Feedback is set for feedback on wrong key entry unless the respective system properties have been explicitly set.
  • Similarly, the SampleManagerService class is set for obtaining statistics when synchronizing any uncommitted changes to the contents of archive files.

  Parameters:

  out - the standard output stream.

  err - the error output stream.

  autoFlush - if the output streams are not PrintStreams, then they are wrapped in a new PrintStream with this as the additional constructor parameter.

Method Detail

• setup

  protected void setup()

  Runs the setup phase.

  This method is run only once at the start of the life cycle. Its task is to configure the default behavior of the TrueZIP File* API in order to answer the following questions:

  • What are the file suffixes which shall be recognized as archive files and hence as virtual directories?
  • Shall missing archive files and directory entries get automatically created whenever required?

  The implementation in the class Application configures the type of the feedback when prompting the user for keys for RAES encrypted ZIP alias ZIP.RAES alias TZP files by the Swing based prompting key manager. If this JVM is running in headless mode, then this configuration is ignored and the user is prompted by the console I/O based prompting key manager.

  Overrides:

  setup in class TApplication<RuntimeException>

• work

  protected final int work(String[] args)

  Runs the work phase by calling runChecked(java.lang.String[]). Prints a user readable error message to the error output stream which was provided to the constructor if an occurs.

  This method is run at least once and repeatedly called until runChecked(java.lang.String[]) returns a non-negative integer for use as the exist status of the VM. After this method, the sync() method is called in a finally-block.

  Specified by:

  work in class TApplication<RuntimeException>

  Parameters:

  args - an array of arguments for this command line utility.

  Returns:

  A negative integer in order to continue calling this method in a loop. Otherwise, the return value is used as the exit status of the VM.

  Throws:

  RuntimeException - at the discretion of runChecked(java.lang.String[]).

• runChecked

  protected abstract int runChecked(String[] args)
                             throws Exception

  Runs this command line utility. Throws an exception if an error occurs.

  Avoid repeating this method and updating the same archive file upon each call! This would degrade the overall performance from O(n) to O(m*n), where m is the number of new or modified entries and n is the number of all entries in the archive file!

  Parameters:

  args - an array of arguments for this command line utility.

  Returns:

  A negative integer in order to continue calling this method in a loop. Otherwise, the return value is used as the exit status of the VM.

  Throws:

  Application.IllegalUsageException - on any exception.

  Exception

• sync

  protected void sync()
               throws FsSyncException

  Overrides:

  sync in class TApplication<RuntimeException>

  Throws:

  FsSyncException
