Class ArrayMatcher

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Matcher
    class ArrayMatcher
extends java.lang.Object
implements Matcher
    The ArrayMatcher object performs matching of array types to array transforms. This uses the array component type to determine the transform to be used. All array transforms created by this will be ArrayTransform object instances. These will use a type transform for the array component to add values to the individual array indexes. Also such transforms are typically treated as a comma separated list of individual values.

      • ArrayMatcher

        public ArrayMatcher​(Matcher primary)
        Constructor for the ArrayTransform object. This is used to match array types to their respective transform using the ArrayTransform object. This will use a comma separated list of tokens to populate the array.
        Parameters:
        primary - this is the primary matcher to be used

    • Method Detail

      • match

        public Transform match​(java.lang.Class type)
                throws java.lang.Exception
        This is used to match a Transform based on the array component type of an object to be transformed. This will attempt to match the transform using the fully qualified class name of the array component type. If a transform can not be found then this method will throw an exception.
        Specified by:
        match in interface Matcher
        Parameters:
        type - this is the array to find the transform for
        Returns:
        returns a transform for processing the type given
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - thrown if a transform can not be matched

      • matchArray

        private Transform matchArray​(java.lang.Class entry)
                      throws java.lang.Exception
        This is used to match a Transform based on the array component type of an object to be transformed. This will attempt to match the transform using the fully qualified class name of the array component type. If a transform can not be found then this method will throw an exception.
        Parameters:
        entry - this is the array component type to be matched
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - thrown if a transform can not be matched
