Absolute path and CSVEntitySource

[moulusque]

Hello,

In my configuration file I tried the following statements and 2 of them are not working. It seems that CSVEntitySource doesn't like
Absolute path.
The following syntax in the configuration works :

Code: Select all

<bean id="dictReader" class="CSVEntitySource">
   <property name="uri" value="../../../x.txt" />
   <property name="separator" value=","></property>
</bean>


but not the ones bellow :

Code: Select all

<bean id="dictReader" class="CSVEntitySource">
      <property name="uri" value="D:/java/workspace/bene/test-benerator/x.txt" />
      <property name="separator" value=","></property>
</bean>


and

Code: Select all

<bean id="dictReader" class="CSVEntitySource">
      <property name="uri" value="D:\java\workspace\bene\test-benerator\x.txt" />
      <property name="separator" value=","></property>
</bean>


The following exeption is thrown :

16:51:27,656 INFO (Thread-1) [BeneratorShutdownHook] Shut down Benerator

I checked several times the path of the file, but it is the good one.

Hi moulusque,

URIs without protocol always are interpreted as relative path specification, except for Unix paths that start with '/'.

Thus, for an absolute windows file location, you need to specify the 'file' protocol, e.g.

Code: Select all

<property name="uri" value="file:///D:/java/workspace/bene/test-benerator/x.txt" />

or

Code: Select all

<property name="uri" value="file:///D:\\java\\workspace\\bene\\test-benerator\\x.txt" />

Remember that '\' is an escape character for Benerator, so you have to use '\\' for specifying a backslash.

I agree that it would be nice to have automatic recognition of windows paths too and consider adding it in Benerator 0.6.5

Regards,

Ah yes I did not think about adding "file://"

Sorry :s


Thanks a lot for the reply
