Comment (by iwakeh):

 First thoughts about possible answers:

 1) Several answers:
    i) some form of exception?
    ii) warning and use the descriptorFile given?
 2) Set `fileName = descriptorFile.getName()`.
 3) More tricky:
    i) use `descriptorFile = new File(fileName)` is potentially problematic
 b/c there is no such file.
    ii) leave `descriptorFile = null` and forget about the given filename?
    iii) add getDescriptorFilename() to the Descriptor interface?
    iv) some form of exception?
 4) some form of exception?
