Class RegexRules

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Rules

    public class RegexRules
    extends AbstractRulesImpl

    Rules implementation that uses regular expression matching for paths.

    The regex implementation is pluggable, allowing different strategies to be used. The basic way that this class work does not vary. All patterns are tested to see if they match the path using the regex matcher. All those that do are return in the order which the rules were added.

      • registerRule

        protected void registerRule​(java.lang.String pattern,
                                    Rule rule)
        Register a new Rule instance matching the specified pattern.
        Specified by:
        registerRule in class AbstractRulesImpl
        Parameters:
        pattern - Nesting pattern to be matched for this Rule
        rule - Rule instance to be registered
      • clear

        public void clear()
        Clear all existing Rule instance registrations.
        Specified by:
        clear in interface Rules

      • match

        public java.util.List<Rule> match​(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                                          java.lang.String pattern)
        Finds matching rules by using current regex matching strategy. The rule associated with each path that matches is added to the list of matches. The order of matching rules is the same order that they were added.
        Specified by:
        match in interface Rules
        Specified by:
        match in class AbstractRulesImpl
        Parameters:
        namespaceURI - Namespace URI for which to select matching rules, or null to match regardless of namespace URI
        pattern - Nesting pattern to be matched
        Returns:
        a list of matching Rule's
      • rules

        public java.util.List<Rule> rules()
        Return a List of all registered Rule instances, or a zero-length List if there are no registered Rule instances. If more than one Rule instance has been registered, they must be returned in the order originally registered through the add() method.
