java.lang.Object
  org.weborganic.furi.TokenLiteral

All Implemented Interfaces:

Expandable, Matchable, Token

public class TokenLiteral
extends Object
implements Token, Matchable

A URI token corresponding to the literal text part of the URI template.

Literal text remains identical during the expansion process (parameters are ignored).

Literal text tokens only match text that is equal.

The expression for a literal token does contain curly brackets.

Constructor Detail

TokenLiteral

public TokenLiteral(String text)
             throws NullPointerException

Creates a new literal text token.

Parameters:

text - The text corresponding to this URI token.

Throws:

NullPointerException - If the specified text is null.

Method Detail

expand

public String expand(Parameters parameters)

Expands this object to produce a URI fragment as defined by the URI Template specifications.

Specified by:

expand in interface Expandable

Parameters:

parameters - The list of parameters and their values for substitution.

Returns:

The expanded URI fragment

match

public boolean match(String part)

Indicates whether this token matches the specified part of a URL.

Specified by:

match in interface Matchable

Parameters:

part - The part of URL to test for matching.

Returns:

true if it matches; false otherwise.

pattern

public Pattern pattern()

Returns a regular expression pattern corresponding to this object.

Specified by:

pattern in interface Matchable

Returns:

The regular expression pattern corresponding to this object.

resolve

public boolean resolve(String expanded,
                       Map<Variable,Object> values)

Resolves the specified expanded URI part for this token.

The resolution process requires all variables referenced in the token to be mapped to the value that is present in the expanded URI data. By definition, no variable in this token. This method does nothing and always returns true.

Specified by:

resolve in interface Token

Parameters:

expanded - The part of the URI that correspond to an expanded version of the token.

values - The variables mapped to their values as a result of resolution.

Returns:

true this operation was successful; false otherwise.

isResolvable

public boolean isResolvable()

Indicates whether this token can be resolved.

A resolvable token contains variables which can be resolved. By default a token is resolvable if it can be matched.

Specified by:

isResolvable in interface Token

Returns:

true if variables can be resolved from the specified pattern; false otherwise.

expression

public String expression()

The expression corresponding to this token.

Specified by:

expression in interface Token

Returns:

The expression corresponding to this token.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Two tokens are equals if and only if their string expression is equal.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
