Class URI

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.xml.serializer.utils.URI

final class URI
extends java.lang.Object

A class to represent a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). This class is designed to handle the parsing of URIs and provide access to the various components (scheme, host, port, userinfo, path, query string and fragment) that may constitute a URI.

Parsing of a URI specification is done according to the URI syntax described in RFC 2396 . Every URI consists of a scheme, followed by a colon (':'), followed by a scheme-specific part. For URIs that follow the "generic URI" syntax, the scheme- specific part begins with two slashes ("//") and may be followed by an authority segment (comprised of user information, host, and port), path segment, query segment and fragment. Note that RFC 2396 no longer specifies the use of the parameters segment and excludes the "user:password" syntax as part of the authority segment. If "user:password" appears in a URI, the entire user/password string is stored as userinfo.

For URIs that do not follow the "generic URI" syntax (e.g. mailto), the entire scheme-specific part is treated as the "path" portion of the URI.

Note that, unlike the java.net.URL class, this class does not provide any built-in network access functionality nor does it provide any scheme-specific functionality (for example, it does not know a default port for a specific scheme). Rather, it only knows the grammar and basic set of operations that can be applied to a URI. This class is a copy of the one in org.apache.xml.utils. It exists to cut the serializers dependancy on that package. A minor change from the original is that this class no longer implements Serializable, and the serialVersionUID magic field is dropped, and the class is no longer "public".

Parameters:
p_other - the URI to copy (cannot be null)

URI

public URI(java.lang.String p_uriSpec)

If the specification does not follow the "generic URI" syntax, the specification is parsed into a scheme and scheme-specific part (stored as the path) only.

Parameters:
p_uriSpec - the URI specification string (cannot be null or empty)
Throws:
URI.MalformedURIException - if p_uriSpec violates any syntax rules

URI

public URI(URI p_base,
           java.lang.String p_uriSpec)
    throws URI.MalformedURIException
Construct a new URI from a base URI and a URI specification string. The URI specification string may be a relative URI.

Parameters:
p_base - the base URI (cannot be null if p_uriSpec is null or empty)
p_uriSpec - the URI specification string (cannot be null or empty if p_base is null)
Throws:
URI.MalformedURIException - if p_uriSpec violates any syntax rules

URI

public URI(java.lang.String p_scheme,
           java.lang.String p_schemeSpecificPart)
    throws URI.MalformedURIException
Construct a new URI that does not follow the generic URI syntax. Only the scheme and scheme-specific part (stored as the path) are initialized.

Parameters:
p_scheme - the URI scheme (cannot be null or empty)
p_schemeSpecificPart - the scheme-specific part (cannot be null or empty)
Throws:
URI.MalformedURIException - if p_scheme violates any syntax rules

           java.lang.String p_fragment)
    throws URI.MalformedURIException
Construct a new URI that follows the generic URI syntax from its component parts. Each component is validated for syntax and some basic semantic checks are performed as well. See the individual setter methods for specifics.

Parameters:
p_scheme - the URI scheme (cannot be null or empty)
p_host - the hostname or IPv4 address for the URI
p_path - the URI path - if the path contains '?' or '#', then the query string and/or fragment will be set from the path; however, if the query and fragment are specified both in the path and as separate parameters, an exception is thrown
p_queryString - the URI query string (cannot be specified if path is null)
p_fragment - the URI fragment (cannot be specified if path is null)
