Description

Hi,

An abusive class cast cause a ClassCastException in
org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileObject#copyFrom( FileObject file,
FileSelector selector )

This occurs while passing a FileObject instance that is not a AbstractFileObject
Snippet code in fault :
// Locate the files to copy across
final ArrayList files = new ArrayList();
((AbstractFileObject) file).findFiles(selector, false, files);
Correct code (suggestion) :
final List files = Arrays.asList( file.findFiles( selector ) );
I use the above code in the FileObject supplied by my provider, but it should be
corrected in org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileObject

I'm developping a provider for XML:DB bound to the "xmldb" scheme.
(if you want to, I'll give you the entire code when it will be done)

Regards,
Philippe Poulard
