Constructor Detail

ChildrenCollectorFilter

public ChildrenCollectorFilter(String namePattern,
                       Collection<Item> children,
                       boolean collectNodes,
                       boolean collectProperties,
                       int maxLevel)

Constructs a ChildrenCollectorFilter

Parameters:

namePattern - the pattern which should be applied to the names of the children

children - where the matching children should be added

collectNodes - true, if child nodes should be collected; otherwise false

collectProperties - true, if child properties should be collected; otherwise false

maxLevel - number of hierarchy levels to traverse (e.g. 1 for direct children only, 2 for children and their children, and so on)

ChildrenCollectorFilter

public ChildrenCollectorFilter(String[] nameGlobs,
                       Collection<Item> children,
                       boolean collectNodes,
                       boolean collectProperties,
                       int maxLevel)

Constructs a ChildrenCollectorFilter

Parameters:

nameGlobs - an array of globbing strings which should be applied to the names of the children

children - where the matching children should be added

collectNodes - true, if child nodes should be collected; otherwise false

collectProperties - true, if child properties should be collected; otherwise false

maxLevel - number of hierarchy levels to traverse (e.g. 1 for direct children only, 2 for children and their children, and so on)

matches

public static boolean matches(String name,
              String pattern)

Matches the name pattern against the specified name.

The pattern may be a full name or a partial name with one or more wildcard characters ("*"), or a disjunction (using the "|" character to represent logical OR) of these. For example,

"jcr:*|foo:bar"

would match

"foo:bar", but also "jcr:whatever".

 The EBNF for pattern is:

 namePattern ::= disjunct {'|' disjunct}
 disjunct ::= name [':' name]
 name ::= '*' |
          ['*'] fragment {'*' fragment}['*']
 fragment ::= char {char}
 char ::= nonspace | ' '
 nonspace ::= (* Any Unicode character except:
               '/', ':', '[', ']', '*',
               ''', '"', '|' or any whitespace
               character *)
 

Note that leading and trailing whitespace around a pattern is ignored.

Parameters:

name - the name to test the pattern with

pattern - the pattern to be matched against the name

Returns:

true if the specified name matches the pattern

See Also:

Node.getNodes(String)

matches

public static boolean matches(String name,
              String[] nameGlobs)

Matches the nameGlob strings in the passed array against the specified name.

A glob may be a full name or a partial name with one or more wildcard characters ("*").

Note that unlike in the case of the matches(String, String) leading and trailing whitespace around a glob is not ignored.

Parameters:

name - the name to test the pattern with

nameGlobs - an array of globbing strings

Returns:

true if the specified name matches any of the globs
