Method Details
-
getDigester
Return the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated. -
setDigester
Set the Digester instance with which this Rules instance is associated.- Parameters:
digester
- The newly associated Digester instance
-
getNamespaceURI
Return the namespace URI that will be applied to all subsequently addedRule
objects. -
setNamespaceURI
Set the namespace URI that will be applied to all subsequently addedRule
objects.- Parameters:
namespaceURI
- Namespace URI that must match on all subsequently added rules, ornull
for matching regardless of the current namespace URI
-
add
Register a new Rule instance matching the specified pattern.- Parameters:
pattern
- Nesting pattern to be matched for this Rulerule
- Rule instance to be registered
-
clear
void clear()Clear all existing Rule instance registrations. -
match
Deprecated.Call match(namespaceURI,pattern) instead.Return a List of all registered Rule instances that match the specified nesting pattern, or a zero-length List if there are no matches. If more than one Rule instance matches, they must be returned in the order originally registered through theadd()
method.- Parameters:
pattern
- Nesting pattern to be matched
-
match
Return a List of all registered Rule instances that match the specified nesting pattern, or a zero-length List if there are no matches. If more than one Rule instance matches, they must be returned in the order originally registered through theadd()
method.- Parameters:
namespaceURI
- Namespace URI for which to select matching rules, ornull
to match regardless of namespace URIpattern
- Nesting pattern to be matched
-
rules
Return a List of all registered Rule instances, or a zero-length List if there are no registered Rule instances. If more than one Rule instance has been registered, they must be returned in the order originally registered through theadd()
method.
