Method Detail

createPropertySegment

public static XMPPathSegment createPropertySegment(String namespace,
                                                   String name)

Creates a normal property path segment. These are essentially all properties (simple, struct and arrays).

Parameters:

namespace - Namespace URI of the property

name - Local name of the property

Returns:

a new immutable path segment

createArrayIndexSegment

public static XMPPathSegment createArrayIndexSegment(String namespace,
                                                     int index)

Creates an array index path segment that denotes a specific element of an array. Such segments do not have an own name and inherits the namespace from the Array property itself

Parameters:

namespace - Namespace URI of the array property

index - Index of the element

Returns:

a new immutable path segment

createQualifierSegment

public static XMPPathSegment createQualifierSegment(String namespace,
                                                    String name)

Creates a Qualifier path segment, which behaves like a normal property

Parameters:

namespace - Namespace URI of the qualifier property

name - Local name of the qualifier property

Returns:

a new immutable path segment

createQualifierSelectorSegment

public static XMPPathSegment createQualifierSelectorSegment(String namespace,
                                                            String name,
                                                            String value)

Creates a path segment that selects a specific qualifier by its value. For example a specific language in a alternative array of languages.

Parameters:

namespace - Namespace URI of the property

name - Local name of the property

value - The value that depicts the specific qualifier

Returns:

a new immutable path segment

getNamespace

public String getNamespace()

Returns:

the namespace

getName

public String getName()

Returns:

the name

getType

public XMPPathSegment.Type getType()

Returns:

the type

getIndex

public int getIndex()

getValue

public String getValue()

Returns:

the value

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object
