Class RulesBase

java.lang.Object
org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.RulesBase
All Implemented Interfaces:
Rules
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:

  • Exact Match - A pattern "a/b/c" exactly matches a <c> element, nested inside a <b> element, which is nested inside an <a> element.
  • Tail Match - A pattern "*/a/b" matches a <b> element, nested inside an <a> element, no matter how deeply the pair is nested.

    • digester

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

    • rules

      protected ArrayList<Rule> rules

    • 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

    • 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 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
      Returns:
      a rules list

    • 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
      Returns:
      a rules list

    • 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:
