Interface RewriteMap

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    InternalRewriteMap.Escape, InternalRewriteMap.LowerCase, InternalRewriteMap.Unescape, InternalRewriteMap.UpperCase
    public interface RewriteMap
    Interface for user defined lookup/replacement logic that can be defined in a rewrite.config file by a RewriteMap directive. Such a map can then be used by a RewriteRule defined in the same file.

    An example rewrite.config file could look like: 

     RewriteMap uc example.UpperCaseMap

 RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ ${uc:$1}
    One parameter can be optionally appended to the RewriteMap directive. This could be used – for example – to specify a name of a file, that contains a lookup table used by the implementation of the map.

    • Method Summary

      All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods 
      Modifier and Type Method Description
      java.lang.String lookup​(java.lang.String key)
      Maps a key to a replacement value.
      The method is free to return null to indicate, that the default value from the RewriteRule directive should be used.
      java.lang.String setParameters​(java.lang.String params)
      Optional parameter that can be defined through the RewriteMap directive in the rewrite.config file.
      default void setParameters​(java.lang.String... params)
      Optional parameters that can be defined through the RewriteMap directive in the rewrite.config file.

    • Method Detail

      • setParameters

        java.lang.String setParameters​(java.lang.String params)
        Optional parameter that can be defined through the RewriteMap directive in the rewrite.config file.
        Parameters:
        params - the optional parameter
        Returns:
        value is currently ignored

      • setParameters

        default void setParameters​(java.lang.String... params)
        Optional parameters that can be defined through the RewriteMap directive in the rewrite.config file.

        This method will be called, if there are more than one parameters defined.

        Parameters:
        params - the optional parameters

      • lookup

        java.lang.String lookup​(java.lang.String key)
        Maps a key to a replacement value.
        The method is free to return null to indicate, that the default value from the RewriteRule directive should be used.
        Parameters:
        key - used by the actual implementation to generate a mapped value
        Returns:
        mapped value or null
