Class NamePattern

java.lang.Object

de.spricom.dessert.matching.NamePattern

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<NamePattern>

public class NamePattern
extends Object
implements Comparable<NamePattern>

This pattern identifies a set of classes by their full qualified classname. The syntax has been motivated by the AspectJ TypeNamePattern with slight modifications:

• The pattern can either be a plain type name, the wildcard *, or an identifier with embedded * or .. wildcards or the | separator
• An * matches any sequence of characters, but does not match the package separator "."
• An | separates alternatives that do not contain a package separator "."
• An .. matches any sequence of characters that starts and ends with the package separator "."
• The identifier to match with is always the name returned by Class.getName(). Thus $ is the only inner-type separator supported.
• The * does match $, too.
• A leading .. additionally matches the root package.

Examples:

Sample	Description
sample.Foo	Matches only sample.Foo
sample.Foo*	Matches all types in sample starting with "Foo" and all inner-types of Foo
sample.bar|baz.*	Matches all types in sample.bar and sample.baz
sample.Foo$*	Matches only inner-types of Foo
..Foo	Matches all Foo in any package (incl. root package)
*.*..Foo	Matches all Foo nested in a sub-package
*	Matches all types in the root package
..*	Matches all types
