Class AddressParser

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Address

    public class AddressParser
    extends org.simpleframework.common.parse.Parser
    implements Address
    This parser is used to parse uniform resource identifiers. The uniform resource identifier syntax is given in RFC 2396. This parser can parse relative and absolute URI's. The uniform resource identifier syntax that this parser will parse are based on the generic web based URL similar to the syntax represented in RFC 2616 section 3.2.2. The syntax used to parse this URI is a modified version of RFC 2396
    
        URI         = (absoluteURI | relativeURI)
        absoluteURI = scheme ":" ("//" netpath | relativeURI)
        relativeURI = path ["?" querypart]
        netpath     = domain [":" port] relativeURI
        path        = *("/" segment)
        segment     = *pchar *( ";" param )
    
     
    This implements the Address interface and provides methods that access the various parts of the URI. The parameters in the path segments of the uniform resource identifier are stored in name value pairs. If parameter names are not unique across the path segments then only the deepest parameter will be stored from the path segment. For example if the URI represented was http://domain/path1;x=y/path2;x=z the value for the parameter named x would be z.

    This will normalize the path part of the uniform resource identifier. A normalized path is one that contains no back references like "./" and "../". The normalized path will not contain the path parameters.

    The setPath method is used to reset the path this uniform resource identifier has, it also resets the parameters. The parameters are extracted from the new path given.

      • AddressParser

        public AddressParser()
        Default constructor will create a AddressParser that contains no specifics. The instance will return null for all the get methods. The parsers get methods are populated by using the parse method.

        This is primarily a convenience constructor. This will parse the String given to extract the specifics. This could be achieved by calling the default no-arg constructor and then using the instance to invoke the parse method on that String to extract the parts.
        Parameters:
        text - a String containing a URI value
    • Method Detail

      • getScheme

        public java.lang.String getScheme()
        This allows the scheme of the URL given to be returned. If the URI does not contain a scheme then this will return null. The scheme of the URI is the part that specifies the type of protocol that the URI is used for, an example gopher://domain/path is a URI that is intended for the gopher protocol. The scheme is the string gopher.
        Specified by:
        getScheme in interface Address
        Returns:
        this returns the scheme tag for the URI if there is one specified for it
      • getDomain

        public java.lang.String getDomain()
        This is used to retrieve the domain of this URI. The domain part in the URI is an optional part, an example http://domain/path?querypart. This will return the value of the domain part. If there is no domain part then this will return null otherwise the domain value found in the uniform resource identifier.
        Specified by:
        getDomain in interface Address
        Returns:
        the domain part of this uniform resource identifier this represents
      • getPath

        public Path getPath()
        This is used to retrieve the path of this URI. The path part is the most fundamental part of the URI. This will return the value of the path. If there is no path part then this will return / to indicate the root.

        The Path object returned by this will contain no path parameters. The path parameters are available using the Address methods. The reason that this does not contain any of the path parameters is so that if the path is needed to be converted into an OS specific path then the path parameters will not need to be separately parsed out.

        Specified by:
        getPath in interface Address
        Returns:
        the path that this URI contains, this value will not contain any back references such as "./" and "../" or any path parameters
      • getQuery

        public Query getQuery()
        This is used to retrieve the query of this URI. The query part in the URI is an optional part. This will return the value of the query part. If there is no query part then this will return an empty Query object. The query is an optional member of a URI and comes after the path part, it is preceded by a question mark, ? character. For example the following URI contains query for its query part, http://host:port/path?query.

        This returns a org.simpleframework.http.Query object that can be used to interact directly with the query values. The Query object is a read-only interface to the query parameters, and so will not affect the URI.

        Specified by:
        getQuery in interface Address
        Returns:
        a Query object for the query part
      • getPort

        public int getPort()
        This is used to retrieve the port of the uniform resource identifier. The port part in this is an optional part, an example http://host:port/path?querypart. This will return the value of the port. If there is no port then this will return -1 because this represents an impossible uniform resource identifier port. The port is an optional part.
        Specified by:
        getPort in interface Address
        Returns:
        this returns the port of the uniform resource identifier
      • getParameters

        public org.simpleframework.common.KeyMap<java.lang.String> getParameters()
        This extracts the parameter values from the uniform resource identifier represented by this object. The parameters that a uniform resource identifier contains are embedded in the path part of the URI. If the path contains no parameters then this will return an empty Map instance.

        This will produce unique name and value parameters. Thus if the URI contains several path segments with similar parameter names this will return the deepest parameter. For example if the URI represented was http://domain/path1;x=y/path2;x=z the value for the parameter named x would be z.

        Specified by:
        getParameters in interface Address
        Returns:
        this will return the parameter names found in the URI
      • setScheme

        public void setScheme​(java.lang.String value)
        This allows the scheme for the URI to be specified. If the URI does not contain a scheme then this will attach the scheme and the :// identifier to ensure that the Address.toString will produce the correct syntax.

        Caution must be taken to ensure that the port and the scheme are consistent. So if the original URI was http://domain:80/path and the scheme was changed to ftp the port number that remains is the standard HTTP port not the FTP port.

        Parameters:
        value - this specifies the protocol this URI is intended for
      • setDomain

        public void setDomain​(java.lang.String value)
        This will set the domain to whatever value is in the string parameter. If the string is null then this URI objects toString method will not contain the domain. The result of the toString method will be /path/path?query. If the path is non-null this URI will contain the path.
        Parameters:
        value - this will be the new domain of this uniform resource identifier, if it is not null
      • setPort

        public void setPort​(int port)
        This will set the port to whatever value it is given. If the value is 0 or less then the toString will will not contain the optional port. If port number is above 0 then the toString method will produce a URI like http://host:123/path but only if there is a valid domain.
        Parameters:
        port - the port value that this URI is to have
      • setPath

        public void setPath​(java.lang.String text)
        This will set the path to whatever value it is given. If the value is null then this Address.toString method will not contain the path, that is if path is null then it will be interpreted as /.

        This will reset the parameters this URI has. If the value given to this method has embedded parameters these will form the parameters of this URI. The value given may not be the same value that the getPath produces. The path will have all back references and parameters stripped.

        Parameters:
        text - the path that this URI is to be set with
      • setPath

        public void setPath​(Path path)
        This will set the path to whatever value it is given. If the value is null then this Address.toString method will not contain the path, that is if path is null then it will be interpreted as /.

        This will reset the parameters this URI has. If the value given to this method has embedded parameters these will form the parameters of this URI. The value given may not be the same value that the getPath produces. The path will have all back references and parameters stripped.

        Parameters:
        path - the path that this URI is to be set with
      • setQuery

        public void setQuery​(java.lang.String value)
        This will set the query to whatever value it is given. If the value is null then this Address.toString method will not contain the query. If the query was abc then the toString method would produce a string like http://host:port/path?abc. If the query is null this URI would have no query part. The query must not contain the ? character.
        Parameters:
        value - the query that this uniform resource identifier is to be set to if it is non-null
      • setQuery

        public void setQuery​(Query query)
        This will set the query to whatever value it is given. If the value is null then this Address.toString method will not contain the query. If the Query.toString returns null then the query will be empty. This is basically the setQuery(String) method with the string value from the issued Query.toString method.
        Parameters:
        query - a Query object that contains the name value parameters for the query
      • parse

        protected void parse()
        This will check to see what type of URI this is if it is an absoluteURI or a relativeURI. To see the definition of a URI see RFC 2616 for the definition of a URL and for more specifics see RFC 2396 for the expressions.
        Specified by:
        parse in class org.simpleframework.common.parse.Parser
      • init

        protected void init()
        This will empty each tokens cache. A tokens cache is used to represent a token once the token's toString method has been called. Thus when the toString method is called then the token depends on the value of the cache alone in further calls to toString. However if a URI has just been parsed and that method has not been invoked then the cache is created from the buf if its length is greater than zero.
        Specified by:
        init in class org.simpleframework.common.parse.Parser
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        This is used to convert this URI object into a String object. This will only convert the parts of the URI that exist, so the URI may not contain the domain or the query part and it will not contain the path parameters. If the URI contains all these parts then it will return somthing like
         scheme://host:port/path/path?querypart
         

        It can return /path/path?querypart style relative URI's. If any of the parts are set to null then that part will be missing, for example if setDomain method is invoked with a null parameter then the domain and port will be missing from the resulting URI. If the path part is set to null using the setPath then the path will be /. An example URI with the path part of null would be

         scheme://host:port/?querypart
         
        Specified by:
        toString in interface Address
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        the URI with only the path part and the non-null optional parts of the uniform resource identifier
