Constructor Detail

UriTemplate

public UriTemplate(String uriTemplate)

Construct a new UriTemplate with the given URI String.

Parameters:

uriTemplate - the URI template string

Method Detail

encodeUri

protected URI encodeUri(String uri)

Encodes the given String as URL.

Defaults to UriUtils.encodeUri(String, String).

Parameters:

uri - the URI to encode

Returns:

the encoded URI

expand

public URI expand(Map<String,?> uriVariables)

Given the Map of variables, expands this template into a URI. The Map keys represent variable names, the Map values variable values. The order of variables is not significant.

Example:

 UriTemplate template = new UriTemplate("http://example.com/hotels/{hotel}/bookings/{booking}");
 Map<String, String> uriVariables = new HashMap<String, String>();
 uriVariables.put("booking", "42");
 uriVariables.put("hotel", "1");
 System.out.println(template.expand(uriVariables));
 

will print:

http://example.com/hotels/1/bookings/42

Parameters:

uriVariables - the map of URI variables

Returns:

the expanded URI

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if uriVariables is null; or if it does not contain values for all the variable names

expand

public URI expand(Object... uriVariableValues)

Given an array of variables, expand this template into a full URI. The array represent variable values. The order of variables is significant.

Example:

 UriTemplate template = new UriTemplate("http://example.com/hotels/{hotel}/bookings/{booking}");
 System.out.println(template.expand("1", "42));
 

will print:

http://example.com/hotels/1/bookings/42

Parameters:

uriVariableValues - the array of URI variables

Returns:

the expanded URI

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if uriVariables is null or if it does not contain sufficient variables

expandString

public String expandString(Map<String,?> uriVariables)

expandString

public String expandString(Object... uriVariableValues)

getVariableNames

public List<String> getVariableNames()

Return the names of the variables in the template, in order.

Returns:

the template variable names

match

public Map<String,String> match(String uri)

Match the given URI to a map of variable values. Keys in the returned map are variable names, values are variable values, as occurred in the given URI.

Example:

 UriTemplate template = new UriTemplate("http://example.com/hotels/{hotel}/bookings/{booking}");
 System.out.println(template.match("http://example.com/hotels/1/bookings/42"));
 

will print:

{hotel=1, booking=42}

Parameters:

uri - the URI to match to

Returns:

a map of variable values

matches

public boolean matches(String uri)

Indicate whether the given URI matches this template.

Parameters:

uri - the URI to match to

Returns:

true if it matches; false otherwise

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
