Class PathPatternParser

java.lang.Object
org.springframework.web.util.pattern.PathPatternParser
public class PathPatternParser extends Object
Parser for URI path patterns producing PathPattern instances that can then be matched to requests.

The PathPatternParser and PathPattern are specifically designed for use with HTTP URL paths in web applications where a large number of URI path patterns, continuously matched against incoming requests, motivates the need for efficient matching.

For details of the path pattern syntax see PathPattern.

  • Field Details

    • defaultInstance

      public static final PathPatternParser defaultInstance
      Shared, read-only instance of PathPatternParser.

      Uses default settings:

      • matchOptionalTrailingSeparator = false
      • caseSensitive = true
      • pathOptions = PathContainer.Options.HTTP_PATH

  • Constructor Details

    • PathPatternParser

      public PathPatternParser()

  • Method Details

    • setCaseSensitive

      public void setCaseSensitive(boolean caseSensitive)
      Configure whether path pattern matching should be case-sensitive.

      The default is true.

    • isCaseSensitive

      public boolean isCaseSensitive()
      Whether case-sensitive pattern matching is enabled.

    • setPathOptions

      public void setPathOptions(PathContainer.Options pathOptions)
      Set options for parsing patterns. These should be the same as the options used to parse input paths.

      PathContainer.Options.HTTP_PATH is used by default.

    • getPathOptions

      public PathContainer.Options getPathOptions()
      Get the configured pattern parsing options.

    • initFullPathPattern

      public String initFullPathPattern(String pattern)
      Prepare the given pattern for use in matching to full URL paths.

      By default, prepend a leading slash if needed for non-empty patterns.

      Parameters:
      pattern - the pattern to initialize
      Returns:
      the updated pattern

    • parse

      public PathPattern parse(String pathPattern) throws PatternParseException
      Process the path pattern content, a character at a time, breaking it into path elements around separator boundaries and verifying the structure at each stage. Produces a PathPattern object that can be used for fast matching against paths. Each invocation of this method delegates to a new instance of the InternalPathPatternParser because that class is not thread-safe.
      Parameters:
      pathPattern - the input path pattern, for example, /project/{name}
      Returns:
      a PathPattern for quickly matching paths against request paths
      Throws:
      PatternParseException - in case of parse errors
