Method Detail

createFileEntryParser

FTPFileEntryParser createFileEntryParser(String key)
                                         throws ParserInitializationException

Implementation should be a method that decodes the supplied key and creates an object implementing the interface FTPFileEntryParser.

Parameters:

key - A string that somehow identifies an FTPFileEntryParser to be created.

Returns:

the FTPFileEntryParser created.

Throws:

ParserInitializationException - Thrown on any exception in instantiation

createFileEntryParser

FTPFileEntryParser createFileEntryParser(FTPClientConfig config)
                                         throws ParserInitializationException

Implementation should be a method that extracts a key from the supplied FTPClientConfig parameter and creates an object implementing the interface FTPFileEntryParser and uses the supplied configuration to configure it.

Note that this method will generally not be called in scenarios that call for autodetection of parser type but rather, for situations where the user knows that the server uses a non-default configuration and knows what that configuration is.

Parameters:

config - A FTPClientConfig used to configure the parser created

Returns:

the @link FTPFileEntryParser FTPFileEntryParser} so created.

Throws:

ParserInitializationException - Thrown on any exception in instantiation
