This class is a concrete derivation of the CObexBaseObject class. Use it to store and transfer OBEX objects with the body part stored in an EPOC file. Hence this class is particularly suited to OBEX "file" beaming applications (c.f. arbitrary object beaming), although there is in reality no restriction in what it is used to transfer. Access to the body is acheived through an additional attribute to the object; the data file. This is the file-system name of the file used to store the body of the object. Note that there is no explicit relation between this and the Name of the object, although it is expected that most applications would attempt to relate the two.

When ever a valid data file is set (i.e. DataFile().Length > 0), this file is effectively open, hence stopping any other application from opening it with exclusive rights. Therefore, it is recommended that Reset () be called on the object as soon as it is no longer required, and definitely before (conceptually) passing ownership of the data file to any other object or user.

CObexFileObject is also suited to situations where an object is expected to be received, but no information about the purpose of this object is known. This is due to CObexFileObject s ability to create temporary files "on the fly" to store received data into, when a specific file is not provided by the application.

This class is not designed for user derivation.
