public abstract class AbstractRegexpSelector

extends AbstractSwitchSelector

implements Configurable

The AbstractRegexpSelector abstract class defines a simple selector operating over configured regular-expression patterns.

Configuration of an AbstractRegexpSelector is quite simple: first of all the patterns used for selections must be configured:

 <map:components>
   ...
   <map:selectors default="...">
     <map:selector name="..." src="org.apache.cocoon.selection....">
       <pattern name="empty">^$</pattern>
       <pattern name="number">^[0-9]+$</pattern>
       <pattern name="string">^.+$</pattern>
     </map:selector>
  </map:selectors>
 </map:components>
 

Then, each configured pattern can be referenced in the pipelines section of the sitemap:

 <map:pipelines>
   ...
   <map:match ...>
     ...
     <map:select type="browser">
       <map:when test="empty">...</map:when>
       <map:when test="number">...</map:when>
       <map:when test="string">...</map:when>
       <map:otherwise>...</map:otherwise>
     </map:select>
     ...
   </map:match>
   ...
 </map:pipelines>

protected AbstractRegexpSelector()

Create a new AbstractRegexpSelector instance.

Method Detail

select

public boolean select(String patternName,
                      Object selectorContext)

Select a pipeline fragment based on a previously configured pattern.

Specified by:

select in interface org.apache.cocoon.selection.SwitchSelector

Parameters:

patternName - the name of the configured pattern.

selectorContext - the string to be matched by the named pattern.

Returns:

true if the contexts is matched by the configured pattern.

configure

public void configure(Configuration configuration)
               throws ConfigurationException

Configure this instance parsing all regular expression patterns.

Specified by:

configure in interface Configurable

Parameters:

configuration - the Configuration instance where configured patterns are defined.

Throws:

ConfigurationException - if one of the regular-expression to configure could not be compiled.

compile

protected REProgram compile(String pattern)
                     throws ConfigurationException

Compile the pattern in a REProgram.

Parameters:

pattern - the regular expression pattern in a textual format.

Returns:

a compiled regular expression pattern.

Throws:

ConfigurationException - in the pattern could not be compiled.
