Method Detail

openFile

public static void openFile(Path fileToOpen,
                            FileExtensionDescriptorRegistry fileExtensionDescriptorRegistry,
                            DocumentHandlerDescriptorRegistry documentHandlerDescriptorRegistry)

Opens a file. It looks in the FileExtensionDescriptorRegistry if there is any registered FileExtensionDescriptor for the file extension of the file open. If one is registered it looks in the DocumentHandlerDescriptorRegistry if there is any DocumentHandlerDescriptor for the associated MIME type. It then tries to create a Document Handler for the specified file path and looks if there's an Openable registered in its local Context. If it finds an Openable it calls Openable.open().

Parameters:

fileToOpen - the path to the file to open.

fileExtensionDescriptorRegistry - the file extension descriptor registry

documentHandlerDescriptorRegistry - the document handler descriptor registry
