Package org.apache.commons.digester
Class RulesBase
java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.digester.RulesBase
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Rules
- Direct Known Subclasses:
ExtendedBaseRules
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.
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.

digester
The Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated. -
namespaceURI
The namespace URI for which subsequently addedRule
objects are relevant, ornull
for matching independent of namespaces. -
rules

Method Details
-
getDigester
Return the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.- Specified by:
getDigester
in interfaceRules
-
setDigester
Set the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.- Specified by:
setDigester
in interfaceRules
- Parameters:
digester
- The newly associated Digester instance
-
getNamespaceURI
Return the namespace URI that will be applied to all subsequently addedRule
objects.- Specified by:
getNamespaceURI
in interfaceRules
-
setNamespaceURI
Set the namespace URI that will be applied to all subsequently addedRule
objects.- Specified by:
setNamespaceURI
in interfaceRules
- Parameters:
namespaceURI
- Namespace URI that must match on all subsequently added rules, ornull
for matching regardless of the current namespace URI
-
add
Register a new Rule instance matching the specified pattern. -
clear
public void clear()Clear all existing Rule instance registrations. -
match
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 theadd()
method. -
match
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 theadd()
method. -
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 theadd()
method. -
lookup
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, returnnull
.- Parameters:
namespaceURI
- Namespace URI to match, ornull
to select matching rules regardless of namespace URIpattern
- Pattern to be matched
