public class PathResource

implements WritableResource

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

since 7.0 in favor of FileSystemResource

Resource implementation for Path handles, performing all operations and transformations via the Path API. Supports resolution as a File and also as a URL. Implements the extended WritableResource interface.

Note: As of 5.1, Path support is also available in FileSystemResource, applying Spring's standard String-based path transformations but performing all operations via the Files API. This PathResource is effectively a pure java.nio.path.Path based alternative with different createRelative behavior.

Since:

4.0

PathResource

public PathResource(Path path)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Create a new PathResource from a Path handle.

Note: Unlike FileSystemResource, when building relative resources via createRelative(java.lang.String), the relative path will be built underneath the given root: for example, Paths.get("C:/dir1/"), relative path "dir2" → "C:/dir1/dir2"!

Parameters:

path - a Path handle

PathResource

public PathResource(String path)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Create a new PathResource from a path string.

Note: Unlike FileSystemResource, when building relative resources via createRelative(java.lang.String), the relative path will be built underneath the given root: for example, Paths.get("C:/dir1/"), relative path "dir2" → "C:/dir1/dir2"!

Parameters:

path - a path

See Also:

• Paths.get(String, String...)

PathResource

public PathResource(URI uri)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
