com.esri.arcgis.system
Class FileName

java.lang.Object
  com.esri.arcgis.system.FileName

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.esri.arcgis.interop.RemoteObjRef, IFileName, IName, IPersist, IPersistStream, Externalizable, Serializable

public class FileName
extends Object
implements com.esri.arcgis.interop.RemoteObjRef, IName, IFileName, IPersistStream, Externalizable

File Name Object.

Description

Along with all the other Name objects (see esriGeodatabase in particular), the FileName object provides an identity for some data without it necessarily having to exist. A file name identifies and locates a file in a directory structure.

Remarks

With FileName, the IName::Open method does not function properly, so you need to use whatever programmatic file-access technique is appropriate from your development environment standpoint.

FileName is useful with interfaces that take generic Name objects and perform actions. An example is ILayerFactoryHelper, which is often used with the MapControl to manage drag-and-drop operations.

Constructor Detail

FileName

public FileName()
         throws IOException,
                UnknownHostException

Constructs a FileName using ArcGIS Engine.

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

UnknownHostException - if there are interop problems

FileName

public FileName(Object obj)
         throws IOException

Deprecated. As of ArcGIS 9.2, replaced by normal Java casts.
FileName theFileName = (FileName) obj;

Construct a FileName using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to FileName.

Parameters:

obj - an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

Method Detail

getClsid

public static String getClsid()

getClsid.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this object with another

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

the hashcode for this object

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

setNameString

public void setNameString(String nameString)
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException

The name string of the object.

Remarks

The NameString property is reserved for future use. When implemented, it will return a string representation of the locational component of the name object that may be persisted by applications.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

setNameString in interface IName

Parameters:

nameString - The nameString (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getNameString

public String getNameString()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

The name string of the object.

Remarks

The NameString property is reserved for future use. When implemented, it will return a string representation of the locational component of the name object that may be persisted by applications.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

getNameString in interface IName

Returns:

The nameString

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

open

public Object open()
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException

Opens the object referred to by this name.

Remarks

The Open method lets you instantiate the actual object given the name object.

Note: Opening a feature class that participates in a topology or geometric network will also open all other feature classes participating in the topology or geometric network in memory.

Example:

IName   pName = pFeatureClassName; 
pFeatureClass = new IFeatureClassProxy(pName.open());

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

open in interface IName

Returns:

A reference to another Object (IUnknown)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setPath

public void setPath(String path)
             throws IOException,

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

setPath in interface IFileName

Parameters:

path - The path (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

development environment standpoint.
