public interface PatternCache

An interface defining the basic functions of a regular expression cache.

A PatternCache is an object that takes care of compiling, storing, and retrieving regular expressions so that the programmer does not have to explicitly manage these operation himself. The main benefit derived is the ease of use from only having to express regular expressions by their String representations.

方法详细资料

addPattern

Pattern addPattern(String expression)
            throws MalformedPatternException

Adds a pattern to the cache and returns the compiled pattern. This method is in principle almost identical to getPattern(String) except for the fact that it throws a MalformedPatternException if an expression cannot be compiled.

addPattern() is meant to be used when you expressly intend to add an expression to a cache and is useful for front-loading a cache with expressions before use. If the expression added does not already exist in the cache, it is compiled, added to the cache, and returned. If the compiled expression is already in the cache, it is simply returned.

The expected behavior of this method should be to start replacing patterns in the cache only after the cache has been filled to capacity.

参数:

expression - The regular expression to add to the cache.

返回:

The Pattern corresponding to the String representation of the regular expression.

抛出:

MalformedPatternException - If there is an error in compiling the regular expression.

addPattern

Pattern addPattern(String expression,
                   int options)
            throws MalformedPatternException

Adds a pattern to the cache and returns the compiled pattern. This method is in principle almost identical to getPattern(String) except for the fact that it throws a MalformedPatternException if an expression cannot be compiled.

addPattern() is meant to be used when you expressly intend to add an expression to the cache and is useful for front-loading a cache with expressions before use.

The expected behavior of this method should be to start replacing patterns in the cache only after the cache has been filled to capacity.

参数:

expression - The regular expression to add to the cache.

options - The compilation options to use when compiling the expression.

返回:

The Pattern corresponding to the String representation of the regular expression.

抛出:

MalformedPatternException - If there is an error in compiling the regular expression.

getPattern

Pattern getPattern(String expression)
            throws MalformedCachePatternException

This method fetches a pattern from the cache. It is nearly identical to addPattern() except that it doesn't throw a MalformedPatternException. If the pattern is not in the cache, it is compiled, placed in the cache, and returned. If the pattern cannot be compiled successfully, the implementation must throw an exception derived from MalformedCachePatternException. Note that this exception is derived from RuntimeException, which means you are NOT forced to catch it by the compiler. Please refer to MalformedCachePatternException for a discussion of when you should and shouldn't catch this exception.

参数:

expression - The regular expression to fetch from the cache in compiled form.

返回:

The Pattern corresponding to the String representation of the regular expression.

抛出:

MalformedCachePatternException - If there is an error in compiling the regular expression.

getPattern

Pattern getPattern(String expression,
                   int options)
            throws MalformedCachePatternException

This method fetches a pattern from the cache. It is nearly identical to addPattern() except that it doesn't throw a MalformedPatternException. If the pattern is not in the cache, it is compiled, placed in the cache, and returned. If the pattern cannot be compiled successfully, it throws a MalformedCachePatternException. Note that this exception is derived from RuntimeException, which means you are NOT forced to catch it by the compiler. Please refer to MalformedCachePatternException for a discussion of when you should and shouldn't catch this exception.

参数:

expression - The regular expression to fetch from the cache in compiled form.

options - The compilation options to use when compiling the expression.

返回:

The Pattern corresponding to the String representation of the regular expression.

抛出:

MalformedCachePatternException - If there is an error in compiling the regular expression.

size

int size()

Returns the number of elements in the cache, not to be confused with the capacity() which returns the number of elements that can be held in the cache at one time.

返回:

The current size of the cache (i.e., the number of elements currently cached).

capacity

int capacity()

Returns the maximum number of patterns that can be cached at one time.

返回:

The maximum number of patterns that can be cached at one time.
