Class RuleMap

java.lang.Object
  com.novell.xsl.process.RuleMap

public class RuleMap
extends Object

A rule map organized for pattern matching.

The rule map automatically optimizes its internal storage before doing any matching. This optimization may be time consuming for a large maps, so there is a method available to force the optimization to happen up front.

Constructor Summary

RuleMap()

Method Summary

void	addNamed(ExpandedQName targetName, Rule rule) Adds the specified rule with the specified target name to this rule map.
void	addWildcard(Rule rule) Adds the specified wildcard rule to this rule map.
void	dump(PrintWriter out, int indent) Dumps this object to the specified output stream.
Rule[]	getRules(ExpandedQName targetName) Optimizes this rule map for matching (if it isn't already optimized) and returns the optimized rules for the specified target name.
void	optimize() Optimizes this rule map for matching.

Method Detail

addNamed

public void addNamed(ExpandedQName targetName,
                     Rule rule)

Adds the specified rule with the specified target name to this rule map. This method causes this rule map to become unoptimized.

Parameters:

targetName - the name of the rule's target

rule - the rule to be added

addWildcard

public void addWildcard(Rule rule)

Adds the specified wildcard rule to this rule map. This method causes this rule map to become unoptimized.

Parameters:

rule - the wildcard rule to be added

getRules

public Rule[] getRules(ExpandedQName targetName)

Optimizes this rule map for matching (if it isn't already optimized) and returns the optimized rules for the specified target name. The returned rules are sorted according to the rules' compareTo method. The returned array, and the rules in the array, must not be modified even though there is no enforcement mechanism.

Parameters:

targetName - the desired target name

Returns:

this rule map's optimized rules for the named target

Rule.compareTo(java.lang.Object)

optimize

public void optimize()

Optimizes this rule map for matching.

dump

public void dump(PrintWriter out,
                 int indent)

Dumps this object to the specified output stream.

Parameters:

out - the output stream to write to

indent - number of tabs to indent
