Class AntPathRequestMatcher

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.security.web.util.matcher.AntPathRequestMatcher

All Implemented Interfaces:

RequestMatcher, RequestVariablesExtractor

public final class AntPathRequestMatcher
extends java.lang.Object
implements RequestMatcher, RequestVariablesExtractor

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 or case-sensitive depending on the arguments passed into the constructor.

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.

Constructor Detail

AntPathRequestMatcher

public AntPathRequestMatcher(java.lang.String pattern)

Creates a matcher with the specific pattern which will match all HTTP methods in a case insensitive manner.

Parameters:

public AntPathRequestMatcher(java.lang.String pattern,
                             java.lang.String httpMethod)

Creates a matcher with the supplied pattern and HTTP method in a case insensitive manner.

Parameters:

pattern - the ant pattern to use for matching

httpMethod - the HTTP method. The matches method will return false if the incoming request doesn't have the same method.

AntPathRequestMatcher

public AntPathRequestMatcher(java.lang.String pattern,
                             java.lang.String httpMethod,
                             boolean caseSensitive)

Creates a matcher with the supplied pattern which will match the specified Http method

Parameters:

pattern - the ant pattern to use for matching

httpMethod - the HTTP method. The matches method will return false if the incoming request doesn't doesn't have the same method.

caseSensitive - true if the matcher should consider case, else false

Method Detail

matches

public boolean matches(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns true if the configured pattern (and HTTP-Method) match those of the supplied request.

Specified by:

matches in interface RequestMatcher

Parameters:

request - the request to match against. The ant pattern will be matched against the servletPath + pathInfo of the request.

Returns:

true if the request matches, false otherwise
