Class AntPathRequestMatcher

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.security.web.util.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.
