Rename files on SMB using smbj fails

Question

I'm strugging to rename files with content to SMB using com.hierynomus.smbj. Files are generated with content, but after renaming content is gone.

Following implementation renames files:

    public void rename(String pathFrom, String pathTo) {
        pathFrom = formatPath(pathFrom);
        pathTo = formatPath(pathTo);
        Set<SMB2ShareAccess> shareAccessSet = new HashSet<>();
        shareAccessSet.add(SMB2ShareAccess.FILE_SHARE_READ);
        shareAccessSet.add(SMB2ShareAccess.FILE_SHARE_WRITE);
        shareAccessSet.add(SMB2ShareAccess.FILE_SHARE_DELETE);

        Set<FileAttributes> fileAttributes = new HashSet<>();
        fileAttributes.add(FileAttributes.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL);
        Set<SMB2CreateOptions> createOptions = new HashSet<>();
        SMB2CreateDisposition smb2CreateDisposition = SMB2CreateDisposition.FILE_OVERWRITE_IF;

        if (isFolder(pathFrom)) {
            createOptions.add(SMB2CreateOptions.FILE_DIRECTORY_FILE);
            smb2CreateDisposition = SMB2CreateDisposition.FILE_OPEN_IF;
        }
        else if (isFile(pathFrom)) {
            createOptions.add(SMB2CreateOptions.FILE_NON_DIRECTORY_FILE);
        }
        else {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Path '" + pathFrom + "' can't be resolved to file nor directory");
        }
        try (DiskEntry file = this.smbShare.open(pathFrom, of(AccessMask.MAXIMUM_ALLOWED), fileAttributes, shareAccessSet,
                smb2CreateDisposition, createOptions)) {
            file.rename(pathTo, true);
        }
    }

Maybe I messed up the attributes and options in smbShare.open-function?

Answer 1

Hm.. I messed up with properties of SMB2CreateDisposition.

The solution: smb2CreateDisposition = SMB2CreateDisposition.FILE_OPEN_IF; instead of smb2CreateDisposition = SMB2CreateDisposition.FILE_OVERWRITE_IF;

The former opens (1.) or creates (2.) the file in question. The latter overwrites the existing file.
