      • createFileEntryParser

        public FTPFileEntryParser createFileEntryParser​(java.lang.String key)
        This default implementation of the FTPFileEntryParserFactory interface works according to the following logic: First it attempts to interpret the supplied key as a fully qualified class name (default package is not allowed) of a class implementing the FTPFileEntryParser interface. If that succeeds, a parser object of this class is instantiated and is returned; otherwise it attempts to interpret the key as an identifier commonly used by the FTP SYST command to identify systems.

        If key is not recognized as a fully qualified class name known to the system, this method will then attempt to see whether it contains a string identifying one of the known parsers. This comparison is case-insensitive. The intent here is where possible, to select as keys strings which are returned by the SYST command on the systems which the corresponding parser successfully parses. This enables this factory to be used in the auto-detection system.

        Specified by:
        createFileEntryParser in interface FTPFileEntryParserFactory
        Parameters:
        key - should be a fully qualified class name corresponding to a class implementing the FTPFileEntryParser interface
        OR
        a string containing (case-insensitively) one of the following keywords:
        Returns:
        the FTPFileEntryParser corresponding to the supplied key.
        Throws:
        ParserInitializationException - thrown if for any reason the factory cannot resolve the supplied key into an FTPFileEntryParser.
