Class RulesBase

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.commons.digester.RulesBase
All Implemented Interfaces:
Rules
Direct Known Subclasses:
ExtendedBaseRules

public class RulesBase
extends Object
implements Rules

Default implementation of the Rules interface that supports the standard rule matching behavior. This class can also be used as a base class for specialized Rules implementations.

The matching policies implemented by this class support two different types of pattern matching rules:

Note that wildcard patterns are ignored if an explicit match can be found (and when multiple wildcard patterns match, only the longest, ie most explicit, pattern is considered a match).

See the package documentation for package org.apache.commons.digester for more information.


Field Summary
protected  HashMap<String,List<Rule>> cache
          The set of registered Rule instances, keyed by the matching pattern.
protected  Digester digester
          The Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.
protected  String namespaceURI
          The namespace URI for which subsequently added Rule objects are relevant, or null for matching independent of namespaces.
protected  ArrayList<Rule> rules
          The set of registered Rule instances, in the order that they were originally registered.
 
Constructor Summary
RulesBase()
           
 
Method Summary
 void add(String pattern, Rule rule)
          Register a new Rule instance matching the specified pattern.
 void clear()
          Clear all existing Rule instance registrations.
 Digester getDigester()
          Return the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.
 String getNamespaceURI()
          Return the namespace URI that will be applied to all subsequently added Rule objects.

 void setDigester(Digester digester)
          Set the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.

Field Detail

cache

protected HashMap<String,List<Rule>> cache
The set of registered Rule instances, keyed by the matching pattern. Each value is a List containing the Rules for that pattern, in the order that they were orginally registered.


digester

protected Digester digester
The Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.


namespaceURI

protected String namespaceURI
The namespace URI for which subsequently added Rule objects are relevant, or null for matching independent of namespaces.


rules

protected ArrayList<Rule> rules
The set of registered Rule instances, in the order that they were originally registered.

Constructor Detail

RulesBase

public RulesBase()
Method Detail

getDigester

public Digester getDigester()
Return the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.

Specified by:
getDigester in interface Rules

setDigester

public void setDigester(Digester digester)
Set the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.

Specified by:
setDigester in interface Rules
Parameters:
digester - The newly associated Digester instance

getNamespaceURI

public String getNamespaceURI()
Return the namespace URI that will be applied to all subsequently added Rule objects.

Specified by:
getNamespaceURI in interface Rules

setNamespaceURI

public void setNamespaceURI(String namespaceURI)
Set the namespace URI that will be applied to all subsequently added Rule objects.

Specified by:
setNamespaceURI in interface Rules
Parameters:
namespaceURI - Namespace URI that must match on all subsequently added rules, or null for matching regardless of the current namespace URI

add

public void add(String pattern,
                Rule rule)
Register a new Rule instance matching the specified pattern.

Specified by:
add in interface Rules
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 List<Rule> match(String pattern)
Deprecated. Call match(namespaceURI,pattern) instead.

Return a List of all registered Rule instances that match the specified nesting pattern, or a zero-length List if there are no matches. If more than one Rule instance matches, they must be returned in the order originally registered through the add() method.

Specified by:
match in interface Rules
Parameters:
pattern - Nesting pattern to be matched

match

public List<Rule> match(String namespaceURI,
                        String pattern)
Return a List of all registered Rule instances that match the specified nesting pattern, or a zero-length List if there are no matches. If more than one Rule instance matches, they must be returned in the order originally registered through the add() method.

Specified by:
match in interface Rules
Parameters:
namespaceURI - Namespace URI for which to select matching rules, or null to match regardless of namespace URI
pattern - Nesting pattern to be matched

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

lookup

protected List<Rule> lookup(String namespaceURI,
                            String pattern)
Return a List of Rule instances for the specified pattern that also match the specified namespace URI (if any). If there are no such rules, return null.

Parameters:
namespaceURI - Namespace URI to match, or null to select matching rules regardless of namespace URI
pattern - Pattern to be matched
