https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/199/how-to-switch-between-java-io-file-and-ivy-scripting-objects-file<p>From the Xpert.ivy help I succeeded in converting a ivy File Object to an Java File Object by using...</p> <pre><code>java.io.File tempFile = in.someIvyFileObjectInstance.getJavaFile(); </code></pre> <p>But what about the inverse way: Java File -&gt; Ivy File? I didn't found a solution for this.</p>enFri, 13 Dec 2013 14:14:01 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/199/how-to-switch-between-java-io-file-and-ivy-scripting-objects-file/204<p>The ivy file is always relative addressed (relative to the files folder of the application). See more details on the <a href="http://www.xpertivy.ch/releases/Xpert.ivy/latest/documents/DesignerGuideHtml/ivy.ivyscript.reference.html#ivy.ivyscript.reference.datatypes.file">Designer Help about ivyScript File</a>. So normally it makes no sense to generate an ivy file out of a java file if you do not want it to be saved/acessed relatively.</p> <p>Possible solution to move a java file into a ivy file: 1. Create IvyFile, then move the java File to the new ivy file.</p> <pre><code>import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils; java.io.File javaFile = new java.io.File("/tmp/myFile.txt"); File ivyFile = new File("myFolder/" + javaFile.getName()); FileUtils.moveFile(javaFile, ivyFile.getJavaFile()); </code></pre>Christian StrebelFri, 13 Dec 2013 14:14:01 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/199/how-to-switch-between-java-io-file-and-ivy-scripting-objects-file/204
