Description

Interface Summary

MatchRuleVisitor	Implementers of this interface can be used with MatchRule.apply() to navigate through the parsed rule tree and execute specific tasks on the elements.
StringFilter	A simple interface for abstraction of string pattern matching

Class Summary

AStringFilter	Subclasses of this abstract string filter class usually must override only method matches(String).
BaseMatchRuleParser	Abstract superclass for parsers that produce a MatchRule from any specific syntax.
CommandLineArguments	Utility class for easy evaluation of command line arguments.
DefaultMatchRuleParser	This parser translates the match-rule syntax to a MatchRule object.
LdapFilterParser	An instance of this class can be used to parse an LDAP filter string to a MatchRule.
LdapMatchRuleVisitor	Walks over a MatchRule to create a LDAP filter string out of it.
MatchAttribute	An instance of this class holds the name and the pattern values for one attribute.
MatchElement	Implements all common state and behaviour of elements in a match rule.
MatchGroup	Represents a group of MatchAttributes and/or MatchGroups
MatchRule	The purpose of class MatchRule is to provide an easy-to-use component, that checks a dictionary (i.e.
MatchRuleChars	Contains the set of special characters for MatchRules.
MatchRulePrinter	Converts a MatchRule to a String using the default syntax.
ObjectIdGenerator	Generates numeric IDs that are left padded with zeros.
ReverseComparator	Provides a comparator implementation that is a wrapper around another comparator with the purpose to reverse the compare order of the given objects.
SqlMatchRuleVisitor	Walks over a MatchRule to create a SQL WHERE clause out of it.
StringCollectionFilter	This filter is based on a collection of strings.
StringExaminer	As a subclass of StringScanner this class allows more advanced navigation over the underlying string.
StringPair	A simple pair of strings.
StringPattern	This class provides services for checking strings against string-patterns.
StringPatternCollection	Holds a collection of StringPattern objects and allows to check if a given string matches any or none of the patterns.
StringScanner	Simple scanner that allows to navigate over the characters of a string.
StringUtil	The sole instance of this class provides several convienience methods for string manipulation such as substring replacement or character repetition.
Version	This class provides a representation of version identifiers of pattern "x.y.z" in a way that they can be compared and sorted according to their real meaning and not just by simple string comparison.

Exception Summary

MatchRuleException	The base exception of all exceptions that can occur with match rules.
MatchRuleParseException	This exception is used for all parsing errors of MatchRule parser classes.
