Interface IPathMapper

All Known Implementing Classes:

CachedPathMapper, PathMapper

public interface IPathMapper

The PathMapper is used to map file patterns to keys, and find an approriate key for a given file path. The pattern rules are consistent with those defined in the Servlet 2.3 API on the whole. Wildcard patterns are also supported, using any combination of * and ?.

Example

PathMapper pm = new PathMapper();

pm.put("one","/");
pm.put("two","/mydir/*");
pm.put("three","*.xml");
pm.put("four","/myexactfile.html");
pm.put("five","/*\/admin/*.??ml");

String result1 = pm.get("/mydir/myfile.xml"); // returns "two";
String result2 = pm.get("/mydir/otherdir/admin/myfile.html"); // returns "five";


Implementation note, this uses the I prefix as the PathMapper class predates the interface and is already in use in many places. This interface should be preferred to the PathMapper class though.
