java.lang.Object
  org.pfsw.text.MatchElement
      org.pfsw.text.MatchAttribute

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class MatchAttribute
extends MatchElement

An instance of this class holds the name and the pattern values for one attribute. With the matches() method it can be checked against a Map of attributes.

Serialized Form

MatchAttribute

public MatchAttribute()

Initialize the new instance with default values.

MatchAttribute

public MatchAttribute(java.lang.String name)

Initialize the new instance with a name.

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute

getAttributeName

public java.lang.String getAttributeName()

Returns the name of the attribute that will be checked by this rule element

setAttributeName

public void setAttributeName(java.lang.String newValue)

Sets the name of the attribute that will be checked by this rule element

getPatterns

public StringPattern[] getPatterns()

Returns the value pattern(s) against that will be matched

setPatterns

public void setPatterns(StringPattern[] newValue)

Sets the value pattern(s) against that will be matched

ignoreCaseInName

public boolean ignoreCaseInName()

Returns true, if the attribute name should be treated not case-sensitive.

isAttribute

public boolean isAttribute()

Returns true, if the element is an attribute element.
Here this method always returns true.

Overrides:

isAttribute in class MatchElement

setPattern

public void setPattern(StringPattern aPattern)

Sets the specified pattern as the sole pattern to be checked when matching this attribute against a map.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string containing the attribute name, the operator and the value(s) set in this part of a match rule.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

setEqualsOperator

public void setEqualsOperator()

Sets the operator for value comparisons of this attribute to EQUALS.

setGreaterOperator

public void setGreaterOperator()

Sets the operator for value comparisons of this attribute to GREATER.

setLessOperator

public void setLessOperator()

Sets the operator for value comparisons of this attribute to LESS.

setGreaterOrEqualOperator

public void setGreaterOrEqualOperator()

Sets the operator for value comparisons of this attribute to GREATER OR EQUAL.

setLessOrEqualOperator

public void setLessOrEqualOperator()

Sets the operator for value comparisons of this attribute to LESS OR EQUAL.

setDatatype

public void setDatatype(java.lang.Object type)
                 throws MatchRuleException

Sets the datatype this attribute's value must have. Implicitly the current value (pattern) gets converted to that datatype.

Currently supported datatypes are:

• Float.class
• Double.class
• BigDecimal.class
• Integer.class
• Long.class
• String.class
• SimpleDateFormat

Parameters:

type - The type of the attribute's value

Throws:

MatchRuleException - if the current value (pattern) cannot be converted to the specified datatype
