You know you have problems when...

  • Your classes are over 5000 lines long.
  • You compare your class to three JDK classes.
  • You incorporate transaction management, path management, file management, connection & URL semantics in a single class.
  • Your class-level javadoc is 100 lines long.
  • You use a version of commons httpclient that has bugs parsing URLs with ports & is incompatible with the latest release.

Also known as WebdavResource. Why this sort of code continues to be written is bizarre.

Update. As James has pointed out in the comments, editing your blog over a modem when you cannot spell is not good. I've never had a good experience with slide, and none of my recent experiences is any better.

Ah, good ol' WebdavResource, I know it well... oh well, that's OSS for you; sometimes bizarre code gets written in the bazaar!

Hope all is well in Brisbane!
