Class FilterTextParser

java.lang.Object
  net.coderazzi.filters.parser.FilterTextParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

IFilterTextParser

public class FilterTextParser
extends Object
implements IFilterTextParser

Basic implementation of a IFilterTextParser, supporting only simple operators referring to the content of a single column.
The supporter operators include:

• Comparison operators. The comparison is done on the parsed object, not on the string representation, unless no Format or Comparator is defined for the given type. For example, specifying the text ">= 4" implies, for a column with integer types, that a direct comparison between integers will be performed. These operators are:
  • >=
  • >
  • <
  • <=
  • <>
• Equal operators. The comparison is done on the parsed object, not on the string representation, unless no Format is defined for the given type. The comparison is performed using the equals method. These operators are:
  • !=: note that, in most cases, it will behave as the operator <>
  • ! : equivalent to !=
  • <
  • =
  • ==: equivalent to =
• Basic wildcard operators. These operators work using the string representation of the types (using, when possible, the defined Format instance). Only two wildcard characters are defined: * and ?
  • ~: for example ~ *vadis* will filter in all expressions including the substring vadis
  • !~: negates the previous operator
• Regular expression operator. There is only one such operator: ~~, accepting a java regular expression.

Method Summary

void	addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener) Adds a PropertyChangeListener.
Comparator<?>	getComparator(Class<?> c) Returns the comparator provided for the given class
String	getDefaultOperator() Returns the default operand
Format	getFormat(Class<?> c) Returns the Format for a given class
boolean	isIgnoreCase() Returns true if it ignores case
RowFilter	parseText(String expression, int modelPosition) Parses the text, corresponding to a column in the table model It returns a filter that can be applied to the table sorter.

Method Detail

addPropertyChangeListener

public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Adds a PropertyChangeListener. Any property change will be transmitted as an event

Specified by:

addPropertyChangeListener in interface IFilterTextParser

removePropertyChangeListener

public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener)

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Removes an existing PropertyChangeListener

Specified by:

removePropertyChangeListener in interface IFilterTextParser

setTableModel

public void setTableModel(TableModel model)

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Associates a TableModel to the parser. The parser can use it to extract the type associated to a given column, or to define variables -the name of the column-. The usage is specific to the final implementation.

Specified by:

setTableModel in interface IFilterTextParser

getDefaultOperator

public String getDefaultOperator()

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Returns the default operand

Specified by:

getDefaultOperator in interface IFilterTextParser

setDefaultOperator

public void setDefaultOperator(String s)

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Defines the default operator when the user specifies none

Specified by:

setDefaultOperator in interface IFilterTextParser

getFormat

public Format getFormat(Class<?> c)

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Returns the Format for a given class

Specified by:

getFormat in interface IFilterTextParser

setFormat

public void setFormat(Class<?> c,
                      Format format)

Sets the Format for the given Class. If the class belongs to the Date hierarchy, it creates automatically a Comparator for it, based on the DateComparator class, unless one comparator has been already set.

Specified by:

setFormat in interface IFilterTextParser

setComparator

public void setComparator(Class<?> c,
                          Comparator<?> cmp)

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Sets a specific comparator for a given class, that should override the default Compare algorithm for the given class.

If the class is not Comparable, this method should be invoked to support any comparison operator, or any operation will be invoked on the string representation of the instance.

Specified by:

setComparator in interface IFilterTextParser

getComparator

public Comparator<?> getComparator(Class<?> c)

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Returns the comparator provided for the given class

Specified by:

getComparator in interface IFilterTextParser

setIgnoreCase

public void setIgnoreCase(boolean ignore)

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Ignores case -if the operator is string based-

Specified by:

setIgnoreCase in interface IFilterTextParser

isIgnoreCase

public boolean isIgnoreCase()

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Returns true if it ignores case

Specified by:

isIgnoreCase in interface IFilterTextParser

parseText

public RowFilter parseText(String expression,
                           int modelPosition)
                    throws ParseException

Description copied from interface: IFilterTextParser

Parses the text, corresponding to a column in the table model
It returns a filter that can be applied to the table sorter.

Specified by:

parseText in interface IFilterTextParser

Parameters:

expression - the text to parse

modelPosition - the position on the table model.

Throws:

ParseException
