When right clicking on the particular file and select Properties in Windows, I get the following view:
How can I access those properties (Name, Value, Type) using Java as shown in the picture above?
I have tried BasicFileAttributes and UserDefinedFileAttributeView with no luck. It seems I can't access those attributes. Anyone has any idea on how to accomplish this?
It depends on really what these attributes are. I'm guessing they are in an NTFS ADS. Try something like the following:
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.nio.file.attribute.*;
public class NtfsStream {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Path file = Path.of(args[0]);
UserDefinedFileAttributeView view = Files.getFileAttributeView(file, UserDefinedFileAttributeView.class);
for (String name : view.list()) {
ByteBuffer buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(view.size(name));
view.read(name, buf);
buf.flip();
String value = Charset.defaultCharset().decode(buf).toString();
System.out.printf("%s=%s%n", name, value);
}
}
}
