[ jEdit-devel ] VFS Sessions

[Marcelo V. <va...@us...>]

Hi there,

A question for people who have played with the VFS subsystem more than
me: how should I properly handle VFS sessions? Should I just call
createVFSSession() when I need to call a VFS method, or should I cache
the session object?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use VFS within ProjectViewer
and I see that as a potential issue. It's not an issue with the local
VFS since there's no session per se, but with things like FTP it might
be interesting.

So the two options I have are:

- just keep calling createVFSSession(), and hope the VFS implementor
does things right; I looked briefly at the FTP plugin source code, and
it doesn't seem to be doing caching of sessions, so that could be an
issue.

- cache the session myself. But then how do I figure out if the
session is still valid and things like that? I really shouldn't have
to care about that.
