public final class SelectorUtils
extends Object

This is a utility class used by selectors and DirectoryScanner. The functionality more properly belongs just to selectors, but unfortunately DirectoryScanner exposed these as protected methods. Thus we have to support any subclasses of DirectoryScanner that may access these methods.

This is a Singleton.

Method Detail

matchPath

public static boolean matchPath(String pattern,
                                String str)

Tests whether or not a given path matches a given pattern.

Parameters:

pattern - The pattern to match against. Must not be null.

str - The path to match, as a String. Must not be null.

Returns:

true if the pattern matches against the string, or false otherwise.

matchPath

public static boolean matchPath(String pattern,
                                String str,
                                boolean isCaseSensitive)

Tests whether or not a given path matches a given pattern.

Parameters:

pattern - The pattern to match against. Must not be null.

str - The path to match, as a String. Must not be null.

isCaseSensitive - Whether or not matching should be performed case sensitively.

Returns:

true if the pattern matches against the string, or false otherwise.

'*' means zero or more characters
'?' means one and only one character

Parameters:

pattern - The pattern to match against. Must not be null.
