Package org.apache.commons.digester

Class RulesBase

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Rules
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ExtendedBaseRules
    public class RulesBase
extends java.lang.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.

    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.

        The Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.

      • namespaceURI

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

      • rules

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

        Set the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.
        Specified by:
        setDigester in interface Rules
        Parameters:
        digester - The newly associated Digester instance

        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
