Direct Known Subclasses:

public class TaggedStringProcessor
extends Object

A TaggedStringProcessor processes a string that contains "tags", i.e. substrings delimited by a special sequence of characters. For each tag it finds in the string, it calls its TagHandler with the tag string and replaces the tag string (including the delimeters) with the result.

Method Detail

processString

public String processString(String string)

Given a line of text string, process all the tags that it find in this line. It returns the processed string. There are two flavors of processString(), one which accepts an existing FastStringBuffer and arguments List created by the caller and one which creates one on the fly as needed. These aren't currently cached to avoid synchronization overhead. The second interface is provided for users making heavy use of this routine for batch processing to avoid object creation overhead.

                            FastStringBuffer userBuf,
                            List args)

method

public String method(String tag)

Given a tag string that in the form of a method with arguments, returns the portion of the tag that's the method name.

arguments

public static List arguments(String tag,
                             List args)

Given a tag string that in the form of a method with arguments, returns an array containing the argument strings.
