Path Construction (Java 7’s Non-blocking IO)
News that did NOT make the top of the hour
REM ** file path construction;
Local JavaObject &pathsClass = GetJavaClass("java.nio.file.Paths");
Local string &fileBase = GetEnv("TMP");
Local JavaObject &testPath = &pathsClass.get(&fileBase,
CreateJavaObject("java.lang.String[]", "testfile.txt"));
REM ** prints /tmp/testfile.txt or c:\windows\temp\testfile.txt;
MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, "Path to test: " | &testPath.toString());
Path Exists (Java 7’s Non-blocking IO)
News that did NOT make the top of the hour
REM ** file exists;
REM ** ++ NOTE: Use PeopleCode FileExists for files ++
Local JavaObject &filesClass = GetJavaClass("java.nio.file.Files");
Local JavaObject &linkOptions =
CreateJavaObject("java.nio.file.LinkOption[]");
Local boolean &exists = &filesClass.exists(&testPath,
&linkOptions);
MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, "Test value should be false: " | &exists);
Move File Part I (Java 7’s Non-blocking IO)
News that did NOT make the top of the hour

%FilePath_Absolute);
