Field Detail

LOCK_DIR

public static final String LOCK_DIR

Directory specified by gate.creole.annic.apache.lucene.lockdir or java.io.tmpdir system property

Method Detail

getDirectory

public static FSDirectory getDirectory(String path,
                                       boolean create)
                                throws IOException

Returns the directory instance for the named location.

Directories are cached, so that, for a given canonical path, the same FSDirectory instance will always be returned. This permits synchronization on directories.

Parameters:

path - the path to the directory.

create - if true, create, or erase any existing contents.

Returns:

the FSDirectory for the named file.

Throws:

IOException

getDirectory

public static FSDirectory getDirectory(File file,
                                       boolean create)
                                throws IOException

Returns the directory instance for the named location.

Directories are cached, so that, for a given canonical path, the same FSDirectory instance will always be returned. This permits synchronization on directories.

Parameters:

file - the path to the directory.

create - if true, create, or erase any existing contents.

Returns:

the FSDirectory for the named file.

Throws:

IOException

list

public final String[] list()
                    throws IOException

Returns an array of strings, one for each file in the directory.

Specified by:

list in class Directory

Throws:

IOException

fileExists

public final boolean fileExists(String name)
                         throws IOException

Returns true iff a file with the given name exists.

Specified by:

fileExists in class Directory

Throws:

IOException

fileModified

public final long fileModified(String name)
                        throws IOException

Returns the time the named file was last modified.

Specified by:

fileModified in class Directory

Throws:

IOException

fileModified

public static final long fileModified(File directory,
                                      String name)
                               throws IOException

Returns the time the named file was last modified.

Throws:

IOException

touchFile

public void touchFile(String name)
               throws IOException

Set the modified time of an existing file to now.

Specified by:

touchFile in class Directory

Throws:

IOException

fileLength

public final long fileLength(String name)
                      throws IOException

Returns the length in bytes of a file in the directory.

Specified by:

fileLength in class Directory

Throws:

IOException

deleteFile

public final void deleteFile(String name)
                      throws IOException

Removes an existing file in the directory.

Specified by:

deleteFile in class Directory

Throws:

IOException

renameFile

public final void renameFile(String from,
                             String to)
                      throws IOException

Renames an existing file in the directory.

Specified by:

renameFile in class Directory

Throws:

IOException

createFile

public final OutputStream createFile(String name)
                              throws IOException

Specified by:

openFile in class Directory

Throws:

IOException

makeLock

public final Lock makeLock(String name)

Constructs a Lock with the specified name. Locks are implemented with File.createNewFile().

In JDK 1.1 or if system property disableLuceneLocks is the string "true", locks are disabled. Assigning this property any other string will not prevent creation of lock files. This is useful for using Lucene on read-only medium, such as CD-ROM.

Specified by:

makeLock in class Directory

Parameters:

name - the name of the lock file

Returns:

an instance of Lock holding the lock

close

public final void close()

Closes the store to future operations.

Specified by:

close in class Directory

Throws:

IOException

getFile

public File getFile()

toString

public String toString()

For debug output.

Overrides:

toString in class Object
