Class ChannelId

java.lang.Object
org.cometd.bayeux.ChannelId
public class ChannelId
extends Object

Reification of a channel id with methods to test properties and compare with other ChannelIds.

A ChannelId breaks the channel id into path segments so that, for example, /foo/bar breaks into ["foo","bar"].

ChannelId can be wild, when they end with one or two wild characters "*"; a ChannelId is shallow wild if it ends with one wild character (for example /foo/bar/*) and deep wild if it ends with two wild characters (for example /foo/bar/**).

ChannelId can be a template, when a segment contains variable names surrounded by braces, for example /foo/{var_name}. Variable names can only be made of characters defined by the \w regular expression character class.

    • ChannelId

      public ChannelId​(String id)
      Constructs a new ChannelId with the given id
      Parameters:
      id - the channel id in string form

  • Method Details

    • getId

      public String getId()

      Returns the normalized channel id string.

      Normalization involves trimming white spaces and removing trailing slashes.

      Returns:
      the normalized channel id string

    • isWild

      public boolean isWild()
      Returns:
      whether this ChannelId is either shallow wild or deep wild

    • isShallowWild

      public boolean isShallowWild()

      Shallow wild ChannelIds end with a single wild character "*" and match non wild channels with the same depth.

      Example: /foo/* matches /foo/bar, but not /foo/bar/baz.

      Returns:
      whether this ChannelId is a shallow wild channel id

    • isDeepWild

      public boolean isDeepWild()

      Deep wild ChannelIds end with a double wild character "**" and match non wild channels with the same or greater depth.

      Example: /foo/** matches /foo/bar and /foo/bar/baz.

      Returns:
      whether this ChannelId is a deep wild channel id

    • isMeta

      public boolean isMeta()

      A ChannelId is a meta ChannelId if it starts with "/meta/".

      Returns:
      whether the first segment is "meta"

    • isService

      public boolean isService()

      A ChannelId is a service ChannelId if it starts with "/service/".

      Returns:
      whether the first segment is "service"

    • isBroadcast

      public boolean isBroadcast()
      Returns:
      whether this ChannelId is neither meta nor service

    • isTemplate

      public boolean isTemplate()
      Returns:
      whether this ChannelId is a template, that is it contains segments that identify a variable name between braces, such as /foo/{var_name}.
      See Also:
      bind(ChannelId), getParameters()

    • getParameters

      public List<String> getParameters()
      Returns:
      the list of variable names if this ChannelId is a template, otherwise an empty list.
      See Also:
      isTemplate()

    • equals

      public boolean equals​(Object obj)
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object

    • matches

      public boolean matches​(ChannelId channelId)

      Tests whether this ChannelId matches the given ChannelId.

      If the given ChannelId is wild, then it matches only if it is equal to this ChannelId.

      If this ChannelId is non-wild, then it matches only if it is equal to the given ChannelId.

      Otherwise, this ChannelId is either shallow or deep wild, and matches ChannelIds with the same number of equal segments (if it is shallow wild), or ChannelIds with the same or a greater number of equal segments (if it is deep wild).

      Parameters:
      channelId - the channelId to match
      Returns:
      true if this ChannelId matches the given ChannelId

    • bind

      public Map<String,​String> bind​(ChannelId target)

      If this ChannelId is a template, and the given target ChannelId is non-wild and non-template, and the two have the same depth(), then binds the variable(s) defined in this template with the values of the segments defined by the target ChannelId.

      For example:

       // template and target match.
 Map<String, String> bindings = new ChannelId("/a/{var1}/c/{var2}").bind(new ChannelId("/a/foo/c/bar"));
 bindings: {"var1": "foo", "var2": "bar"}

 // template has 2 segments, target has only 1 segment.
 bindings = new ChannelId("/a/{var1}").bind(new ChannelId("/a"))
 bindings = {}

 // template has 2 segments, target too many segments.
 bindings = new ChannelId("/a/{var1}").bind(new ChannelId("/a/b/c"))
 bindings = {}

 // same number of segments, but no match on non-variable segments.
 bindings = new ChannelId("/a/{var1}").bind(new ChannelId("/b/c"))
 bindings = {}

      The returned map may not preserve the order of variables present in the template ChannelId.

      Parameters:
      target - the non-wild, non-template ChannelId to bind
      Returns:
      a map withe the bindings, or an empty map if no binding was possible
