edu.isi.pegasus.common.util.Separator

public class Separator
extends java.lang.Object

This class solely defines the separators used in the textual in- and output between namespace, name and version(s). A textual representation of a definition looks like ns::name:version, and a textual representation of a uses like ns::name:min,max.

Field Detail

NAMESPACE

public static final java.lang.String NAMESPACE

This constant defines the separator between a namespace and the identifier.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

NAME

public static final java.lang.String NAME

This constant defines the separator between an identifier and its version.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

VERSION

public static final java.lang.String VERSION

This constant defines the separator that denotes a version range. Version ranges are only used with the "uses" clause, which maps from a derivation to a transformation.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

DEFAULT

public static final java.lang.String DEFAULT

Deprecated.

The default namespace is null.

Although not truly a separator, this is the name of the default namespace, which is used in the absence of a namespace.

Constant Field Values

actionmap2

private static short[][] actionmap2

Maps the action associated with a state and char class. The following actions were determined:

0	no operation
1	save character
2	empty save into ns
3	empty save into id
4	empty save into vs
5	empty save into id, save

statemap2

private static short[][] statemap2

Maps the new state from current state and character class. The following character classes are distinguished:

0	EOS
1	colon (:)
2	other (*)

actionmap

private static int[][] actionmap

Maps the action associated with a state and a character class. The actions are as follows:

0	no operation
1	save character
2	empty save into ns
3	empty save into name
4	empty save into vs
5	empty save into vs, 4args
6	empty save into max
7	empty save into max, 4args
8	empty save into name, save

statemap

private static short[][] statemap

Maps the state and character class to the follow-up state. The final state 16 is a regular final state, and final state 17 is the error final state. All other states are intermediary states.

Four character classes are distinguished:

0	end of string (EOS)
1	colon (:)
2	comma (,)
3	any other

Method Detail

combine

public static java.lang.String combine(java.lang.String namespace,
                                       java.lang.String name,
                                       java.lang.String version)

Combines the three components that constitute a fully-qualified definition identifier into a single string.

Parameters:

namespace - is the namespace, may be empty or null.

name - is the name to use, must not be empty nor null.

version - is the version to attach, may be empty or null.

Returns:

the combination of namespace, name and version with separators.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - will be thrown on an empty or null name, as no such identifier can be constructed.

combine

public static java.lang.String combine(java.lang.String namespace,
                                       java.lang.String name,
                                       java.lang.String min,
                                       java.lang.String max)

Combines the four components that reference a fully-qualified definition identifier into a single string.

Parameters:

namespace - is the namespace, may be empty or null.

name - is the name to use, must not be empty nor null.

min - is the lower version to attach, may be empty or null.

max - is the upper version to attach, may be empty or null.

Returns:

the combination of namespace, name and versions with appropriate separators.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - will be thrown on an empty or null name, as no such identifier can be constructed.

splitFQDI

public static java.lang.String[] splitFQDI(java.lang.String fqdi)
                                    throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Splits a fully-qualified definition identifier into separate namespace, name and version. Certain extensions permit a spec to distinguish between an empty namespace or version and a null (wildcard match) namespace and version.

There is a subtle distinction between a null value and an empty value for the namespace and version. A null value is usually taken as a wildcard match. An empty string however is an exact match of a definition without the namespace or version.

In order to enable the DAX generation function to distinguish these cases when specifying user input, the following convention is supported, where * stands in for wild-card matches, and (-) for a match of an empty element:

INPUT	NS	ID	VS
id	*	id	*
::id	(-)	id	*
::id:	(-)	id	(-)
id:	*	id	(-)
id:vs	*	id	vs
n::id	n	id	*
n::id:	n	id	(-)
n::i:v	n	i	v
::i:v	(-)	i	v

Parameters:

fqdi - is the fully-qualified definition identifier.

Returns:

an array with 3 entries representing namespace, name and version. Namespace and version may be empty or even null.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

split

public static java.lang.String[] split(java.lang.String fqdn)
                                throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Splits a fully-qualified identifier into its components. Please note that you must check the length of the result. If it contains three elements, it is a regular FQDN. If it contains four results, it is a tranformation reference range. Note though, if the version portion is not specified, a 3 argument string will always be returned, even if the context requires a 4 argument string.

Parameters:

fqdn - is the string to split into components.

Returns:

a vector with three or four Strings, if it was parsable.

1. namespace, may be null
2. name, never null
3. version for 3arg, or minimum version for 4arg, may be null
4. maximum version for 4arg, may be null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
