How Do I Create or Read Symbolic Links?

The XFile API does not support symbolic links and the NFS ExtensionAccessor does not yet provide any methods that allow symbolic links to be read or created. The Java NFS client automatically follows symbolic links so that a URL that references a symbolic link will eventually result in a reference to a file or directory. The Java NFS client will correctly evaluate a symbolic link that contain an NFS URL. Note that the client does not yet detect symbolic link loops - a stack overflow will result if a symlink loop is entered.
