Path
public class PathParser extends Parser implements Path
This is used to parse a path given as part of a URI. This will read the path, normalize it, and break it up into its components. The normalization of the path is the conversion of the path given into it's actual path by removing the references to the parent directories and to the current dir.If the path that this represents is
/usr/bin/../etc/./README
then the actual path, normalized, is/usr/etc/README
. Once the path has been normalized it is possible to acquire the segments as an array of strings, which allows simple manipulation of the path.Although RFC 2396 defines the path within a URI to have parameters this does not extract those parameters this will simply normalize the path and include the path parameters in the path. If the path is to be converted into a OS specific file system path that has the parameters extracted then the
AddressParser
should be used.- Author:

Constructor Detail

PathParser
public PathParser()
The default constructor will create aPathParser
that contains no specifics. The instance will returnnull
for all the get methods. ThePathParser
's get methods may be populated by using the parse method.
-
PathParser
public PathParser(java.lang.String path)
This is primarily a convineance constructor. This will parse theString
given to extract the specifics. This could be achived by calling the default no-arg constructor and then using the instance to invoke theparse
method on thatString
to extract the parts.- Parameters:
path
- aString
containing a path value

Method Detail
-
parse
protected void parse()
This will parse the path in such a way that it ensures that at no stage there are trailing back references, using path normalization. The need to remove the back references is so that thisPathParser
will create the sameString
path given a set of paths that have different back references. For example the paths/path/../path
and/path
are the same path but differentString
's.This will NOT parse an immediate back reference as this signifies a path that cannot exist. So a path such as
/../
will result in a null for all methods. Paths such as../bin
will not be allowed.
-
init
protected void init()
This will initialize the parser so that it is in a ready state. This allows the parser to be used to parse many paths. This will clear the parse buffer objects and reset the offset to point to the start of the char buffer. The count variable is reset by theParser.parse
method.
-
getExtension
public java.lang.String getExtension()
This will return the extension that the file name contains. For example a file namefile.en_US.extension
will produce an extension ofextension
. This will return null if the path contains no file extension.- Specified by:
getExtension
in interfacePath
- Returns:
- this will return the extension this path contains
-
getName
public java.lang.String getName()
This will return the full name of the file without the path. As regargs the definition of the path in RFC 2396 the name would be considered the last path segment. So if the path was/usr/README
the name isREADME
. Also for directorys the name of the directory in the last path segment is returned. This returns the name without any of the path parameters. As RFC 2396 defines the path to have path parameters after the path segments.
-
getPath
public java.lang.String getPath()
This will return the normalized path. The normalized path is the path without any references to its parent or itself. So if the path to be parsed is/usr/../etc/./
the path is/etc/
. If the path that this represents is a path with an immediate back reference then this will return null. This is the path with all its information even the parameter information if it was defined in the path.
-
getPath
public java.lang.String getPath(int from)
This will return the normalized path from the specified path segment. This allows various path parts to be acquired in an efficient means what does not require copy operations of the use ofsubstring
invocations. Of particular interest is the extraction of context based paths. This is the path with all its information even the parameter information if it was defined in the path.

getPath
public java.lang.String getPath(int from, int count)
This will return the normalized path from the specified path segment. This allows various path parts to be acquired in an efficient means what does not require copy operations of the use ofsubstring
invocations. Of particular interest is the extraction of context based paths. This is the path with all its information even the parameter information if it was defined in the path.
-
getDirectory
public java.lang.String getDirectory()
This will return the highest directory that exists within the path. This is used to that files within the same path can be acquired. An example of that this would do given the path/pub/./bin/README
would be to return the highest directory path/pub/bin/
. The "/" character will allways be the last character in the path.- Specified by:
getDirectory
in interfacePath
- Returns:
- this method will return the highest directory
-
getSegments
public java.lang.String[] getSegments()
This method is used to break the path into individual parts called segments, see RFC 2396. This can be used as an easy way to compare paths and to examine the directory tree that the path points to. For example, if an path was broken from the string/usr/bin/../etc
then the segments returned would beusr
andetc
as the path is normalized before the segments are extracted.- Specified by:
getSegments
in interfacePath
- Returns:
- return all the path segments within the directory
-
getRelative
public java.lang.String getRelative(java.lang.String path)
This will return the path as it is relative to the issued path. This in effect will chop the start of this path if it's start matches the highest directory of the given path as ofgetDirectory
. This is useful if paths that are relative to a specific location are required. To illustrate what this method will do the following example is provided. If this object represented the path string/usr/share/rfc/rfc2396.txt
and the issued path was/usr/share/text.txt
then this will return the path string/rfc/rfc2396.txt
.- Specified by:
getRelative
in interfacePath
- Parameters:
path
- the path prefix to acquire a relative path- Returns:
- returns a path relative to the one it is given otherwize this method will return null
-
toString
public java.lang.String toString()
This will return the normalized path. The normalized path is the path without any references to its parent or itself. So if the path to be parsed is/usr/../etc/./
the path is/etc/
. If the path that this represents is a path with an immediate back reference then this will return null. This is the path with all its information even the parameter information if it was defined in the path.
