org.springframework.flex.security3
Class AntPathRequestMatcher

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.flex.security3.AntPathRequestMatcher

All Implemented Interfaces:

RequestMatcher

public final class AntPathRequestMatcher
extends Object
implements RequestMatcher

Matcher which compares a pre-defined ant-style pattern against the URL (servletPath + pathInfo) of an HttpServletRequest. The query string of the URL is ignored and matching is case-insensitive.

Using a pattern value of /** or ** is treated as a universal match, which will match any request. Patterns which end with /** (and have no other wildcards) are optimized by using a substring match — a pattern of /aaa/** will match /aaa, /aaa/ and any sub-directories, such as /aaa/bbb/ccc.

For all other cases, Spring's AntPathMatcher is used to perform the match. See the Spring documentation for this class for comprehensive information on the syntax used.

This is essentially a direct copy of the org.springframework.security.web.util.AntPathRequestMatcher implementation in Spring Security 3.1, backported here for matching against BlazeDS Endpoint URL patterns so as to retain compatibility with Spring Security 3.0, and with the matching against HTTP method removed since that is unnecessary with Flex requests.

Since:

1.5
