Class URIEditor

java.lang.Object

java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport

org.springframework.beans.propertyeditors.URIEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:

PropertyEditor

public class URIEditor
extends PropertyEditorSupport

Editor for java.net.URI, to directly populate a URI property instead of using a String property as bridge.

Supports Spring-style URI notation: any fully qualified standard URI ("file:", "http:", etc) and Spring's special "classpath:" pseudo-URL, which will be resolved to a corresponding URI.

By default, this editor will encode Strings into URIs. For instance, a space will be encoded into %20. This behavior can be changed by calling the URIEditor(boolean) constructor.

Note: A URI is more relaxed than a URL in that it does not require a valid protocol to be specified. Any scheme within a valid URI syntax is allowed, even without a matching protocol handler being registered.

Since:

2.0.2

Constructor Detail

URIEditor

public URIEditor()

Create a new, encoding URIEditor, converting "classpath:" locations into standard URIs (not trying to resolve them into physical resources).

URIEditor

public URIEditor(boolean encode)

Create a new URIEditor, converting "classpath:" locations into standard URIs (not trying to resolve them into physical resources).

Parameters:

encode - indicates whether Strings will be encoded or not

URIEditor

public URIEditor(ClassLoader classLoader)

Create a new URIEditor, using the given ClassLoader to resolve "classpath:" locations into physical resource URLs.

Parameters:

classLoader - the ClassLoader to use for resolving "classpath:" locations (may be null to indicate the default ClassLoader)

URIEditor

public URIEditor(ClassLoader classLoader,
                 boolean encode)

Create a new URIEditor, using the given ClassLoader to resolve "classpath:" locations into physical resource URLs.

Parameters:

classLoader - the ClassLoader to use for resolving "classpath:" locations (may be null to indicate the default ClassLoader)

encode - indicates whether Strings will be encoded or not

Method Detail

setAsText

public void setAsText(String text)
               throws IllegalArgumentException

Specified by:

setAsText in interface PropertyEditor

Overrides:

setAsText in class PropertyEditorSupport

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

createURI

protected URI createURI(String value)
                 throws URISyntaxException

Create a URI instance for the given (resolved) String value.

The default implementation encodes the value into a RFC 2396 compliant URI.

Parameters:

value - the value to convert into a URI instance

Returns:

the URI instance

Throws:

URISyntaxException - if URI conversion failed

getAsText

public String getAsText()

Specified by:

getAsText in interface PropertyEditor

Overrides:

getAsText in class PropertyEditorSupport
