Class WithDefaultsRulesWrapper

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.commons.digester3.WithDefaultsRulesWrapper

All Implemented Interfaces:

Rules

public class WithDefaultsRulesWrapper
extends Object
implements Rules

Rules Decorator that returns default rules when no matches are returned by the wrapped implementation.

This allows default Rule instances to be added to any existing Rules implementation. These default Rule instances will be returned for any match for which the wrapped implementation does not return any matches.

For example,

   Rule alpha;
   ...
   WithDefaultsRulesWrapper rules = new WithDefaultsRulesWrapper(new BaseRules());
   rules.addDefault(alpha);
   ...
   digester.setRules(rules);
   ...
 

when a pattern does not match any other rule, then rule alpha will be called.

WithDefaultsRulesWrapper follows the Decorator pattern.

Since:

1.6

Constructor Detail

WithDefaultsRulesWrapper

public WithDefaultsRulesWrapper(Rules wrappedRules)

Base constructor.

Parameters:

wrappedRules - the wrapped Rules implementation, not null

Method Detail

getDigester

public Digester getDigester()

Return the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.

Specified by:

getDigester in interface Rules

Returns:

the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated

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

Returns:

the namespace URI that will be applied to all subsequently added Rule objects.

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

getDefaults

public List<Rule> getDefaults()

Gets Rule's which will be fired when the wrapped implementation returns no matches

Returns:

Rule's which will be fired when the wrapped implementation returns no matches

match

public List<Rule> match(String namespaceURI,
                        String pattern,
                        String name,
                        Attributes attributes)

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

name - the local name if the parser is namespace aware, or just the element name otherwise

attributes - The attribute list of the current matching element

Returns:

a List of all registered Rule instances that match the specified nesting pattern

addDefault

public void addDefault(Rule rule)

Adds a rule to be fired when wrapped implementation returns no matches

Parameters:

rule - a Rule to be fired when wrapped implementation returns no matches

rules

public List<Rule> rules()

Specified by:

rules in interface Rules

Returns:

a List of all registered Rule instances

clear

public void clear()

Clear all existing Rule instance registrations.

Specified by:

clear in interface Rules

add

public void add(String pattern,
                Rule rule)

Register a new Rule instance matching the specified pattern.

Specified by:

add in interface Rules
