/**
* Abstract class that walks through a directory hierarchy and provides
* subclasses with convenient hooks to add specific behaviour.
* <p>
* This class operates with a {@link FileFilter} and maximum depth to
* limit the files and directories visited.
* Commons IO supplies many common filter implementations in the
* <a href="filefilter/package-summary.html"> filefilter</a> package.
* </p>
* <p>
* The following sections describe:
* </p>
* <ul>
* <li><a href="#example">1. Example Implementation</a> - example
* <code>FileCleaner</code> implementation.</li>
* <li><a href="#filter">2. Filter Example</a> - using
* {@link FileFilter}(s) with <code>DirectoryWalker</code>.</li>
* <li><a href="#cancel">3. Cancellation</a> - how to implement cancellation
* behaviour.</li>
* </ul>
*
* <h2 id="example">1. Example Implementation</h2>
*
* There are many possible extensions, for example, to delete all
* files and '.svn' directories, and return a list of deleted files:
* <pre>
* public class FileCleaner extends DirectoryWalker {
*
* public FileCleaner() {
* super();
* }
*
* public List clean(File startDirectory) {
* List results = new ArrayList();
* walk(startDirectory, results);
* return results;
* }
*
* protected boolean handleDirectory(File directory, int depth, Collection results) {
* // delete svn directories and then skip
* if (".svn".equals(directory.getName())) {
* directory.delete();
* return false;
* } else {
* return true;
* }
*
* }
*
* protected void handleFile(File file, int depth, Collection results) {
* // delete file and add to list of deleted
* file.delete();
* results.add(file);
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* <h2 id="filter">2. Filter Example</h2>
*
* <p>
* Choosing which directories and files to process can be a key aspect
* of using this class. This information can be setup in three ways,
* via three different constructors.
* </p>
* <p>
* The first option is to visit all directories and files.
* This is achieved via the no-args constructor.
* </p>
* <p>
* The second constructor option is to supply a single {@link FileFilter}
* that describes the files and directories to visit. Care must be taken
* with this option as the same filter is used for both directories
* and files.
* </p>
* <p>
* For example, if you wanted all directories which are not hidden
* and files which end in ".txt":
* </p>
* <pre>
* public class FooDirectoryWalker extends DirectoryWalker {
* public FooDirectoryWalker(FileFilter filter) {
* super(filter, -1);
* }
* }
*
* // Build up the filters and create the walker
* // Create a filter for Non-hidden directories
* IOFileFilter fooDirFilter =
* FileFilterUtils.andFileFilter(FileFilterUtils.directoryFileFilter,
* HiddenFileFilter.VISIBLE);
*
* // Create a filter for Files ending in ".txt"
* IOFileFilter fooFileFilter =
* FileFilterUtils.andFileFilter(FileFilterUtils.fileFileFilter,
* FileFilterUtils.suffixFileFilter(".txt"));
*
* // Combine the directory and file filters using an OR condition
* java.io.FileFilter fooFilter =
* FileFilterUtils.orFileFilter(fooDirFilter, fooFileFilter);
*
* // Use the filter to construct a DirectoryWalker implementation
* FooDirectoryWalker walker = new FooDirectoryWalker(fooFilter);
* </pre>
* <p>
* The third constructor option is to specify separate filters, one for
* directories and one for files. These are combined internally to form
* the correct <code>FileFilter</code>, something which is very easy to
* get wrong when attempted manually, particularly when trying to
* express constructs like 'any file in directories named docs'.
* </p>
* <p>
* For example, if you wanted all directories which are not hidden
* and files which end in ".txt":
* </p>
* <pre>
* public class FooDirectoryWalker extends DirectoryWalker {
* public FooDirectoryWalker(IOFileFilter dirFilter, IOFileFilter fileFilter) {
* super(dirFilter, fileFilter, -1);
* }
* }
*
* // Use the filters to construct the walker
* FooDirectoryWalker walker = new FooDirectoryWalker(
* HiddenFileFilter.VISIBLE,
* FileFilterUtils.suffixFileFilter(".txt"),
* );
* </pre>
* <p>
* This is much simpler than the previous example, and is why it is the preferred
* option for filtering.
* </p>
*
* <h2 id="cancel">3. Cancellation</h2>
*
* <p>
* The DirectoryWalker contains some of the logic required for cancel processing.
* Subclasses must complete the implementation.
* </p>
* <p>
* What <code>DirectoryWalker</code> does provide for cancellation is:
* </p>
* <ul>
* <li>{@link CancelException} which can be thrown in any of the
* <i>lifecycle</i> methods to stop processing.</li>
* <li>The <code>walk()</code> method traps thrown {@link CancelException}
* and calls the <code>handleCancelled()</code> method, providing
* a place for custom cancel processing.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* Implementations need to provide:
* </p>
* <ul>
* <li>The decision logic on whether to cancel processing or not.</li>
* <li>Constructing and throwing a {@link CancelException}.</li>
* <li>Custom cancel processing in the <code>handleCancelled()</code> method.
* </ul>
* <p>
* Two possible scenarios are envisaged for cancellation:
* </p>
* <ul>
* <li><a href="#external">3.1 External / Multi-threaded</a> - cancellation being
* decided/initiated by an external process.</li>
* <li><a href="#internal">3.2 Internal</a> - cancellation being decided/initiated
* from within a DirectoryWalker implementation.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* The following sections provide example implementations for these two different
* scenarios.
* </p>
*
* <h3 id="external">3.1 External / Multi-threaded</h3>
*
* <p>
* This example provides a public <code>cancel()</code> method that can be
* called by another thread to stop the processing. A typical example use-case
* would be a cancel button on a GUI. Calling this method sets a
* <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/classes.doc.html#36930">
* volatile</a> flag to ensure it will work properly in a multi-threaded environment.
* The flag is returned by the <code>handleIsCancelled()</code> method, which
* will cause the walk to stop immediately. The <code>handleCancelled()</code>
* method will be the next, and last, callback method received once cancellation
* has occurred.
* </p>
*
* <pre>
* public class FooDirectoryWalker extends DirectoryWalker {
*
* private volatile boolean cancelled = false;
*
* public void cancel() {
* cancelled = true;
* }
*
* protected boolean handleIsCancelled(File file, int depth, Collection results) {
* return cancelled;
* }
*
* protected void handleCancelled(File startDirectory, Collection results, CancelException cancel) {
* // implement processing required when a cancellation occurs
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* <h3 id="internal">3.2 Internal</h3>
*
* <p>
* This shows an example of how internal cancellation processing could be implemented.
* <b>Note</b> the decision logic and throwing a {@link CancelException} could be implemented
* in any of the <i>lifecycle</i> methods.
* </p>
*
* <pre>
* public class BarDirectoryWalker extends DirectoryWalker {
*
* protected boolean handleDirectory(File directory, int depth, Collection results) throws IOException {
* // cancel if hidden directory
* if (directory.isHidden()) {
* throw new CancelException(file, depth);
* }
* return true;
* }
*
* protected void handleFile(File file, int depth, Collection results) throws IOException {
* // cancel if read-only file
* if (!file.canWrite()) {
* throw new CancelException(file, depth);
* }
* results.add(file);
* }
*
* protected void handleCancelled(File startDirectory, Collection results, CancelException cancel) {
* // implement processing required when a cancellation occurs
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* @param <T> The result type, like {@link File}.
* @since 1.3
