    <p>I'm trying to find an easy way to map a <code>URI</code> to a <code>Path</code> without writing code specific to any particular file system. The following seems to work but requires a questionable technique:</p> <pre><code>public void process(URI uri) throws IOException { try { // First try getting a path via existing file systems. (default fs) Path path = Paths.get(uri); doSomething(uri, path); } catch (FileSystemNotFoundException e) { // No existing file system, so try creating one. (jars, zips, etc.) Map&lt;String, ?&gt; env = Collections.emptyMap(); try (FileSystem fs = FileSystems.newFileSystem(uri, env)) { Path path = fs.provider().getPath(uri); // yuck :( // assert path.getFileSystem() == fs; doSomething(uri, path); } } } private void doSomething(URI uri, Path path) { FileSystem fs = path.getFileSystem(); System.out.println(uri); System.out.println("[" + fs.getClass().getSimpleName() + "] " + path); } </code></pre> <p>Running this code on a couple examples produces the following:</p> <pre><code>file:/C:/Users/cambecc/target/classes/org/foo [WindowsFileSystem] C:\Users\cambecc\target\classes\org\foo jar:file:/C:/Users/cambecc/bin/utils-1.0.jar!/org/foo [ZipFileSystem] /org/foo </code></pre> <p>Notice how the <code>URI</code>s have been mapped to <code>Path</code> objects that have been "rooted" into the right kind of <code>FileSystem</code>, like the Path referring to the directory "/org/foo" inside a jar.</p> <p>What bothers me about this code is that although NIO2 makes it easy to:</p> <ul> <li>map a URI to a Path in <em>existing</em> file systems: <code>Paths.get(URI)</code></li> <li>map a URI to a <em>new</em> <code>FileSystem</code> instance: <code>FileSystems.newFileSystem(uri, env)</code></li> </ul> <p>... there is no nice way to map a URI to a Path in a <em>new</em> <code>FileSystem</code> instance.</p> <p>The best I could find was, after creating a FileSystem, I can ask its <code>FileSystemProvider</code> to give me Path:</p> <pre><code>Path path = fs.provider().getPath(uri); </code></pre> <p>But this seems wrong as there is no guarantee it will return a Path that is bound to the FileSystem that I just instantiated (i.e., <code>path.getFileSystem() == fs</code>). It's pretty much relying on the internal state of FileSystemProvider to know what FileSystem instance I'm referring to. Is there no better way?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
