escape

public static String escape(String string,
                            char escape)
Does an URL encoding of the string using the escape character. The characters that don't need encoding are those defined 'unreserved' in section 2.3 of the 'URI generic syntax' RFC 2396, but without the escape character.

Parameters:
string - the string to encode.
escape - the escape character.
Returns:
the escaped string
Throws:
NullPointerException - if string is null.

escape

public static String escape(String string,
                            char escape,
                            boolean isPath)
Does an URL encoding of the string using the escape character. The characters that don't need encoding are those defined 'unreserved' in section 2.3 of the 'URI generic syntax' RFC 2396, but without the escape character. If isPath is true, additionally the slash '/' is ignored, too.

Parameters:
string - the string to encode.
escape - the escape character.
isPath - if true, the string is treated as path
Returns:
the escaped string
Throws:
NullPointerException - if string is null.

escape

public static String escape(String string)
Does a URL encoding of the string. The characters that don't need encoding are those defined 'unreserved' in section 2.3 of the 'URI generic syntax' RFC 2396.

Parameters:
string - the string to encode
Returns:
the escaped string
Throws:
NullPointerException - if string is null.

escapePath

public static String escapePath(String path)
Does a URL encoding of the path. The characters that don't need encoding are those defined 'unreserved' in section 2.3 of the 'URI generic syntax' RFC 2396. In contrast to the escape(String) method, not the entire path string is escaped, but every individual part (i.e. the slashes are not escaped).

Parameters:
path - the path to encode
Returns:
the escaped path
Throws:
NullPointerException - if path is null.

unescape

public static String unescape(String string,
                              char escape)
Does a URL decoding of the string using the escape character. Please note that in opposite to the URLDecoder it does not transform the + into spaces.

Parameters:
string - the string to decode
escape - the escape character
Returns:
the decoded string
Throws:
NullPointerException - if string is null.
IllegalArgumentException - if the 2 characters following the escape character do not represent a hex-number or if not enough characters follow an escape character

unescape

public static String unescape(String string)
Does a URL decoding of the string. Please note that in opposite to the URLDecoder it does not transform the + into spaces.

Parameters:
string - the string to decode
Returns:
the decoded string
Throws:
NullPointerException - if string is null.
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if not enough character follow an escape character
IllegalArgumentException - if the 2 characters following the escape character do not represent a hex-number.

escapeIllegalJcrChars

public static String escapeIllegalJcrChars(String name)
Escapes all illegal JCR name characters of a string. The encoding is loosely modeled after URI encoding, but only encodes the characters it absolutely needs to in order to make the resulting string a valid JCR name. Use unescapeIllegalJcrChars(String) for decoding.

QName EBNF:

simplename ::= onecharsimplename | twocharsimplename | threeormorecharname onecharsimplename ::= (* Any Unicode character except: '.', '/', ':', '[', ']', '*', '|' or any whitespace character *) twocharsimplename ::= '.' onecharsimplename | onecharsimplename '.' | onecharsimplename onecharsimplename threeormorecharname ::= nonspace string nonspace string ::= char | string char char ::= nonspace | ' ' nonspace ::= (* Any Unicode character except: '/', ':', '[', ']', '*', '|' or any whitespace character *)

Parameters:
name - the name to escape
Returns:
the escaped name

escapeIllegalXpathSearchChars

Parameters:
s - the string to encode
Returns:
the escaped string

unescapeIllegalJcrChars

public static String unescapeIllegalJcrChars(String name)
Unescapes previously escaped jcr chars.

Please note, that this does not exactly the same as the url related unescape(String), since it handles the byte-encoding differently.

Parameters:
name - the name to unescape
Returns:
the unescaped name

getName

public static String getName(String path)

getName

public static String getName(String path,
                             char delim)
Returns the name part of the path, delimited by the given delim. If the given path is already a name (i.e. contains no delim characters) it is returned.

Parameters:
path - the path
delim - the delimiter
Returns:
the name part or null if path is null.

getName

public static String getName(String path,
                             boolean ignoreTrailingSlash)
