  • Method Details

    • importExtraFile

      File importExtraFile(String filename, InputStreamLocator locator) throws IOException
      Import the file data into a file in the BASE file system. The BfsImporter will call this method once for each extra file (entries starting with 'x-') in the metadata file. The implementation is supposed to create a file in the BASE file system or link to an existing file. The returned file will be automatically linked with the child bioassay set.
      Parameters:
      filename - The filename of the file that is being imported
      locator - A locator implementation that should be used to find the file data if needed
      Returns:
      The file in the BASE file system or null if no file was created
      Throws:
      IOException - If there is a problem reading the file data
