Method Detail

getDescriptorFileInformation

List<String> getDescriptorFileInformation()

This list must have the same cardinality as DescriptorFileFinder.findDescriptorFiles(). The Strings returned from this list must give identifying information about the InputStream with the same index. For example, if the InputStream is from a URL then the toString of the URL would be appropriate. If the InputStream is from a File then the Absolute path to that file might be appropriate

Returns:

Identifying information about the InputStream returned by DescriptorFileFinder.findDescriptorFiles() correlated by index
