File size limitation question

[Andrey Yakovenko]

Hi all,

As I found, maximum file size explicitly limited in Jigsaw (2.2.5a discussed).

org.w3c.tools.resources.FileResource.java (line 343):
     setValue(ATTR_FILE_LENGTH, new Integer((int)file.length()));

Conversion from java's standard Long for file sizes to Integer is done.
I wonder why, as this makes impossible for Jigsaw to handle files with
size more than 2^32 bytes (4GB).
In my case this is unacceptable...=(
(I'm thinking about replacement all of that to Long, so it's important
to know why it was done.)

Best regards,
Andrey Yakovenko

It's on my top priority list, I plan to move to Long for 2.2.6 (there was
no LongAttribute, hence the limitation in early version of Jigsaw, but
it's time to move on and serve real big files).
I'll send an experimental jar for testing purposes soon.
