public abstract class ODSFileHelper
extends java.lang.Object
The interface ODSFile extends the interface InstanceElement. Thus all
methods of the interface InstanceElement do also work here.
ODSFile allows to create a file that is under control of the ODS server
(a 'managed file'). ODSFile furthermore allows read, write, append or
remove operations to a managed file.
General information of the file can be retrieved from this interface as
well. Note, that no random access on a file is provided; only a
sequential read and a write by appending at the end is possible.
Replacing an existing file by a new one requires first to remove the
old one and then create the new one.
