  extended by org.apache.commons.digester.AbstractRulesImpl
      extended by org.apache.commons.digester.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.

Since:
1.5

Constructor Detail

RegexRules

public RegexRules(RegexMatcher matcher)
Construct sets the Regex matching strategy.

Parameters:
matcher - the regex strategy to be used, not null
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the strategy is null
Method Detail

getRegexMatcher

public RegexMatcher getRegexMatcher()
Gets the current regex matching strategy.


setRegexMatcher

public void setRegexMatcher(RegexMatcher matcher)
Sets the current regex matching strategy.

Parameters:
matcher - use this RegexMatcher, not null
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the strategy is null

registerRule

protected void registerRule(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
Specified by:
clear in class AbstractRulesImpl

match

public List<Rule> match(String namespaceURI,
                        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 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.

Specified by:
rules in interface Rules
Specified by:
rules in class AbstractRulesImpl
