SRM - file output stream

Added by Hajnal Akos almost 12 years ago

Dear Developers,

When I create a file and then try to open its output stream for writing, I get exception in either append or overwrite mode.

Here is the code: 

import org.ogf.saga.context.*;
import org.ogf.saga.file.*;
import org.ogf.saga.namespace.*;
import org.ogf.saga.session.*;
import org.ogf.saga.url.*;

public class Srm {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            URL fileUrl = URLFactory.createURL("srm://grid143.kfki.hu/dpm/kfki.hu/home/hungrid/akostest/test.txt");
            Session session = SessionFactory.createSession(false);
            Context ctx = ContextFactory.createContext("Globus"); 
            ctx.setAttribute(Context.USERPROXY, "x509up");  
            ctx.setAttribute(Context.CERTREPOSITORY, "/.globus/certificates/");  
            session.addContext(ctx);
            FileFactory.createFile(session, fileUrl, Flags.CREATE.getValue());
            FileFactory.createFileOutputStream(session, fileUrl, false); 
                          // => Exception: AlreadyExists: File already exists: srm://grid143.kfki.hu/.../test.txt
            FileFactory.createFileOutputStream(session, fileUrl, true); 
                          // => Exception: BadParameter: APPEND is not supported by this adaptor 
        } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
    }
}

As I remember the same sequence worked for other protocols, so I don't know what is the problem. Creation flags are different in the case of srm? Or something else is needed?

Thanks,
Akos Hajnal

Just one more note. It seems that without explicitely creating the file, both input- and output streams work well:

        byte [] content = new byte [] {'c', 'o', 'n', 't', 'e', 'n', 't'};
        FileOutputStream fos = FileFactory.createFileOutputStream(session, fileUrl, false);
        fos.write(content, 0, content.length);
        fos.close();

        FileInputStream fis = FileFactory.createFileInputStream(session, fileUrl);
        int b; while ((b = fis.read()) > 0) { System.out.print((char) b); }
        fis.close();

Akos,
The boolean parameter of FileFactory.createFileOutputStream is the 'append flag', not 'overwrite'.
If I remember well, SRM does not support modification of a file (append or rewrite).
So if you want to create a FileOutputStream, you have to make sure beforehands that the file does not exist already.

Ok, thanks, I am new to this "write-once" stuff...
