Gorgeous File Manipulation Posted by philou at 15:55

The main purpose of the following code is to grab the directory of the package of a classpath resource and use it to create a new file. It is used in our unit tests where we assume that classpath resources are in real directories. It's of course pornographic...

File file = new File(new File(getClass().getResource("noel.jpg").getPath()).getParentFile(), info.getFileName());

file.createNewFile();

Welcome

Welcome to JavaPorn, a blog dedicated to horrible java code

Here is the first piece of code ; it is used in a project to circumvent a parsing issue that throws OutOfMemoryError. Yes OutOfMemoryError !! (see SANSELAN-3 on ASF Jira)

try {

    IImageMetadata metadata = Sanselan.getMetadata(new File(sourcePath));

    // process stuff here 

} catch (OutOfMemoryError oome) {

    // do nothing here. see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-3 for an explanation

    log.warn("Please resolve cleanly ASF SANSELAN-3, catching an OOME is so crappy");

}
