getResource() is an empty string

[jjkoehorst]

I was trying to find out if a file was stored on disk or on tape but within java I only get an empty string when asking for the resource of an irodsfile object.

while via the CLI I do get the resource

Do I need to use another file object type to enable the getResource function?

Not sure why resource is an empty string or maybe it means something else but the resource can be obtained via

dataObjectAO.getResourcesForDataObject...

This is probably related to iRODS moving from a string in the catalog in iRODS 4.1.x to a resource id (integer) in 4.2+. Jargon may need to learn how to dereference the integer when talking to a 4.2+ server. Reopening for investigation. Thanks!
