IFSFileSystemView

The IFSFileSystemView provides a gateway to the iSeries™ integrated file system, for use when constructing javax.swing.JFileChooser objects.

JFileChooser is a standard Java™ way to build dialogs for navigating and choosing files, and is the recommended replacement for IFSFileDialog.

Example: Using IFSFileSystemView

The following example demonstrates the use of IFSFileSystemView.

      import com.ibm.as400.access.AS400;
      import com.ibm.as400.access.IFSJavaFile;
      import com.ibm.as400.vaccess.IFSFileSystemView;
      import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
      import java.awt.Frame;

      // Work with directory /Dir on the system myAS400.
      AS400 system = new AS400("myAS400");
      IFSJavaFile dir = new IFSJavaFile(system, "/Dir");
      JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(dir, new IFSFileSystemView(system));
      Frame parent = new Frame();
      int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(parent);
      if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
         IFSJavaFile chosenFile = (IFSJavaFile)(chooser.getSelectedFile());
         System.out.println("You selected the file named " +
                            chosenFile.getName());
      }
