FTPClientConfig

public class FTPClientConfig extends Object

This class implements an alternate means of configuring the {@link org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient FTPClient} object and also subordinate objects which it uses. Any class implementing the {@link org.apache.commons.net.ftp.Configurable Configurable } interface can be configured by this object.

In particular this class was designed primarily to support configuration of FTP servers which express file timestamps in formats and languages other than those for the US locale, which although it is the most common is not universal. Unfortunately, nothing in the FTP spec allows this to be determined in an automated way, so manual configuration such as this is necessary.

This functionality was designed to allow existing clients to work exactly as before without requiring use of this component. This component should only need to be explicitly invoked by the user of this package for problem cases that previous implementations could not solve.

Examples of use of FTPClientConfig

Use cases: You are trying to access a server that
  • lists files with timestamps that use month names in languages other than English
  • lists files with timestamps that use date formats other than the American English "standard" MM dd yyyy
  • is in different timezone and you need accurate timestamps for dependency checking as in Ant

Unpaged (whole list) access on a UNIX server that uses French month names but uses the "standard" MMM d yyyy date formatting

FTPClient f=FTPClient();
FTPClientConfig conf = new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_UNIX);
conf.setServerLanguageCode("fr");
f.configure(conf);
f.connect(server);
f.login(username, password);
FTPFile[] files = listFiles(directory);

Paged access on a UNIX server that uses Danish month names and "European" date formatting in Denmark's time zone, when you are in some other time zone.

FTPClient f=FTPClient();
FTPClientConfig conf = new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_UNIX);
conf.setServerLanguageCode("da");
conf.setDefaultDateFormat("d MMM yyyy");
conf.setRecentDateFormat("d MMM HH:mm");
conf.setTimeZoneId("Europe/Copenhagen");
f.configure(conf);
f.connect(server);
f.login(username, password);
FTPListParseEngine engine =
f.initiateListParsing("com.whatever.YourOwnParser", directory);

while (engine.hasNext()) {
FTPFile[] files = engine.getNext(25); // "page size" you want
//do whatever you want with these files, display them, etc.
//expensive FTPFile objects not created until needed.
}

Unpaged (whole list) access on a VMS server that uses month names in a language not {@link #getSupportedLanguageCodes() supported} by the system. but uses the "standard" MMM d yyyy date formatting

FTPClient f=FTPClient();
FTPClientConfig conf = new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_VMS);
conf.setShortMonthNames(
"jan|feb|mar|apr|ma\u00ED|j\u00FAn|j\u00FAl|\u00e1g\u00FA|sep|okt|n\u00F3v|des");
f.configure(conf);
f.connect(server);
f.login(username, password);
FTPFile[] files = listFiles(directory);

Unpaged (whole list) access on a Windows-NT server in a different time zone. (Note, since the NT Format uses numeric date formatting, language issues are irrelevant here).

FTPClient f=FTPClient();
FTPClientConfig conf = new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_NT);
conf.setTimeZoneId("America/Denver");
f.configure(conf);
f.connect(server);
f.login(username, password);
FTPFile[] files = listFiles(directory);

Unpaged (whole list) access on a Windows-NT server in a different time zone but which has been configured to use a unix-style listing format.
FTPClient f=FTPClient();
FTPClientConfig conf = new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_UNIX);
conf.setTimeZoneId("America/Denver");
f.configure(conf);
f.connect(server);
f.login(username, password);
FTPFile[] files = listFiles(directory);

public java.lang.StringgetShortMonthNames()

getter for the {@link #setShortMonthNames(String) shortMonthNames} property.

return

		return shortMonthNames;
	
public static java.util.CollectiongetSupportedLanguageCodes()
Returns a Collection of all the language codes currently supported by this class. See {@link #setServerLanguageCode(String) serverLanguageCode} for a functional descrption of language codes within this system.

return
a Collection of all the language codes currently supported by this class

	    return LANGUAGE_CODE_MAP.keySet();
	
public static java.text.DateFormatSymbolslookupDateFormatSymbols(java.lang.String languageCode)
Looks up the supplied language code in the internally maintained table of language codes. Returns a DateFormatSymbols object configured with short month names corresponding to the code. If there is no corresponding entry in the table, the object returned will be that for Locale.US

param
languageCode See {@link #setServerLanguageCode(String) serverLanguageCode}
return
a DateFormatSymbols object configured with short month names corresponding to the supplied code, or with month names for Locale.US if there is no corresponding entry in the internal table.

		Object lang = LANGUAGE_CODE_MAP.get(languageCode);
		if (lang != null) {
			if (lang instanceof Locale) {
				return new DateFormatSymbols((Locale) lang);
			} else if (lang instanceof String){
				return getDateFormatSymbols((String) lang);
			}
		}
		return new DateFormatSymbols(Locale.US);
	
public voidsetDefaultDateFormatStr(java.lang.String defaultDateFormatStr)

setter for the defaultDateFormatStr property. This property specifies the main date format that will be used by a parser configured by this configuration to parse file timestamps. If this is not specified, such a parser will use as a default value, the most commonly used format which will be in as used in en_US locales.

This should be in the format described for java.text.SimpleDateFormat. property.

param
defaultDateFormatStr The defaultDateFormatStr to set.

		this.defaultDateFormatStr = defaultDateFormatStr;
	
public voidsetRecentDateFormatStr(java.lang.String recentDateFormatStr)

setter for the recentDateFormatStr property. This property specifies a secondary date format that will be used by a parser configured by this configuration to parse file timestamps, typically those less than a year old. If this is not specified, such a parser will not attempt to parse using an alternate format.

This is used primarily in unix-based systems.

This should be in the format described for java.text.SimpleDateFormat.

param
recentDateFormatStr The recentDateFormatStr to set.

		this.recentDateFormatStr = recentDateFormatStr;
	
public voidsetServerLanguageCode(java.lang.String serverLanguageCode)

setter for the serverLanguageCode property. This property allows user to specify a two-letter ISO-639 language code that will be used to configure the set of month names used by the file timestamp parser. If neither this nor the {@link #setShortMonthNames(String) shortMonthNames} is specified, parsing will assume English month names, which may or may not be significant, depending on whether the date format(s) specified via {@link #setDefaultDateFormatStr(String) defaultDateFormatStr} and/or {@link #setRecentDateFormatStr(String) recentDateFormatStr} are using numeric or alphabetic month names.

If the code supplied is not supported here, en_US month names will be used. We are supporting here those language codes which, when a java.util.Locale is constucted using it, and a java.text.SimpleDateFormat is constructed using that Locale, the array returned by the SimpleDateFormat's getShortMonths() method consists solely of three 8-bit ASCII character strings. Additionally, languages which do not meet this requirement are included if a common alternative set of short month names is known to be used. This means that users who can tell us of additional such encodings may get them added to the list of supported languages by contacting the jakarta-commons-net team.

Please note that this attribute will NOT be used to determine a locale-based date format for the language. Experience has shown that many if not most FTP servers outside the United States employ the standard en_US date format orderings of MMM d yyyy and MMM d HH:mm and attempting to deduce this automatically here would cause more problems than it would solve. The date format must be changed via the {@link #setDefaultDateFormatStr(String) defaultDateFormatStr} and/or {@link #setRecentDateFormatStr(String) recentDateFormatStr} parameters.

param
serverLanguageCode The value to set to the serverLanguageCode property.

		this.serverLanguageCode = serverLanguageCode;
	
public voidsetServerTimeZoneId(java.lang.String serverTimeZoneId)

setter for the serverTimeZoneId property. This property allows a time zone to be specified corresponding to that known to be used by an FTP server in file listings. This might be particularly useful to clients such as Ant that try to use these timestamps for dependency checking.

This should be one of the identifiers used by java.util.TimeZone to refer to time zones, for example, America/Chicago or Asia/Rangoon.

param
serverTimeZoneId The serverTimeZoneId to set.

		this.serverTimeZoneId = serverTimeZoneId;
	
public voidsetShortMonthNames(java.lang.String shortMonthNames)

setter for the shortMonthNames property. This property allows the user to specify a set of month names used by the server that is different from those that may be specified using the {@link #setServerLanguageCode(String) serverLanguageCode} property.

This should be a string containing twelve strings each composed of three characters, delimited by pipe (|) characters. Currently, only 8-bit ASCII characters are known to be supported. For example, a set of month names used by a hypothetical Icelandic FTP server might conceivably be specified as "jan|feb|mar|apr|maí|jún|júl|ágú|sep|okt|nóv|des".

param
shortMonthNames The value to set to the shortMonthNames property.

		this.shortMonthNames = shortMonthNames;
	
private static java.lang.String[]splitShortMonthString(java.lang.String shortmonths)

		StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(shortmonths, "|");
		int monthcnt = st.countTokens();
		if (12 != monthcnt) {
			throw new IllegalArgumentException(
					"expecting a pipe-delimited string containing 12 tokens");
		}
		String[] months = new String[13];
		int pos = 0;
		while(st.hasMoreTokens()) {
			months[pos++] = st.nextToken();
		}
		months[pos]="";
		return months;
